Issue with mobile website

I have a mobile version of my site that I have an issue with. My main site is (let's say) domain.com and my mobile site is (let's say) m.dom.com

I have common js/css and images I use for both and I don't want to duplicate the files to either both sites. if I need to update I don't want to copy over and over or just forget to upload the other file.

My mobile site is setup in a sub folder of my main site /mobile so i have domain.com/mobile is the same as m.dom.com

is there an easy way to not duplicate/copy over and over the images/js?

Create symblink from the parent folder:

Using ssh or plesk or cpanel:

shell:/path/to/www/mobile> ln -s ../js/
shell:/path/to/www/mobile> ln -s ../images/
shell:/path/to/www/mobile> ln -s ../css/
etc...

This will create a symbolic link from your main site so you only have to uploads the file from your main site and automatically the mobile will get updated.

So when you access the /js/file.js in your mobile site it will look for the symblink which is the main /js/file.js.

Also I would recommend to use this rule (from your main site - .htaccess) in case the /mobile/ is accessed from a bot or a user.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^mobile/?$ http://m.dom.com/ [R=301]
