Traditionally, /tmp directory is such a place. But take into account that a week-old (not accessed) files would get autocleaned from it. You can create a special directory where you like and do chmod 1777 /that/dir to let everyone write there but not delete others' files. > When selecting Control Center - Network - File Sharing - Admin > Mode, I am told that SMB and NFS servers are not installed on > this machine, they must be installed. It's all about network :-) So not needed for now. When needed, SMB (samba server) will be for you. Good luck! -- ---- WBR, Michael Shigorin ------ Linux.Kiev http://www.linux.kiev.ua/
