Network Dropboxes
I am trying to drop someone a file into their home directory and it's not working. What am I doing wrong?
Answer: In each person's home directory there is a folder called "dropbox". This is the only place you can copy a file to in another person's directory. Anyone will be able to see the name, but not the contents, of all files in a drop-box. This allows the person copying a file into a drop-box ensure the copy was successful, but prevents anyone else from reading or manipulating the file. The drop-box is the only public space in secure folders. All other folders within a folder can only be seen by the folder's owners.
