Course Server Usage
- How do I share my files with other people in my group?
- Answer: The server is set up such that students do not have access to other users' directory. However, under the system root directory (/), we have created a directory named shared, to which each user have full read and write permissions. If you would like to share a file/directory with other users, you can copy it to /shared by running:
$ cp <my_file> /shared/
or for a directory,
$ cp -r <my_dir> /shared/
After this, other users may run:
$ cp /shared/<my_file> <destination>
or
$ cp -r /shared/<my_dir> <destination>
to get the shared contents. Remember that /shared is readable and writable by everyone, so you may want to remove them after sharing.
