Title: Creating a new folder
Post by: Doogee on 26 November 2002, 11:48

Since i dont have windows anymore ive got all my mp3s etc on a cdrom. i want to make a folder such as /Pub/ where me or my bro or sis can put stuff to be viewable by all of us. how do i go about doing this? I understand id probably have to do some CHMODing.

go to the dir you want the folder in

mkdir Pub
chmod 777 Pub

Or there's the sissie way to do it:

open up the file browser konqueror or nautilus
go to the dir you want to make it in

right click -->  new  -->  directory  -->  enter 'Pub' for the name  --> OK

then the directory appears

right click on it  -->  properties  -->  permissions  -->  fill in all the boxes --> OK

note: wording may be slightly different as I am not using an English locale.

errr, i was thinking

chmod 1777 Pub

and then saying as root

cd Pub
chmod -w

so peopel cant kill your files

the 1777 gives it the same permisions as /tmp, like they can add mp3's and stuff, but can delete others mp3
