Creating shortcut in mobilesync

I keep getting this error when I try to see up a short cut to my external drive to create backup of iPhone.


Becca@MacBook-Pro MobileSync % ln -s/Volumes/EXTERNAL/iphonebackup/Backup /Users/Hakeem/Library/Application\ Support/MobileSync/Backup

ln: illegal option -- /

usage: ln [-Ffhinsv] source_file [target_file]

  ln [-Ffhinsv] source_file ... target_dir

      link source_file target_file


Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

I think you have to provide a space after the argument "-s ".
