Barry, So who owns these directories? Each account holder, say my account? Or is there only one misc dir, one computers and so on and they are shared by all account holders?

Lorrie, Each ~account is a sub directory of the community being used. Barry On 17/02/2011 10:06 a.m., Lorrie Laskey wrote: > Barry, > > So who owns these directories?

Barry, I understand. I guess I am not asking the question correctly because I am not getting an answer. I'll try again. :-) Is there only one set of these directories such as misc, computers, history, military and such and they are used by all accounts? Or does each account, my docex account, have their own set of these very same directories? I am not quite understanding how an account holder can choose to upload an web page, say index.html, to a directory outside of their account without some connection to that account holder's account?
