ABSTRACT

Several methods can be used to allow a group of users to share files and directories. In this chapter, we describe duplicate shared files, common logins for members of a team, setting appropriate access permissions on shared files, common groups for members in a team, and sharing via links. All these methods can be used to allow a team of users to share files and directories in a UNIX system. Although we describe each of these techniques, the chapter is dedicated primarily to a discussion of sharing via links in a UNIX-based computer system.
