#!SUITS

When working on an assignment it is often good to be able to share files with your team members. Email is commonly used, but often not the best solution. Here are some alternatives.

SVN is the preferred way because it also gives you version control. For some subjects you may be given an SVN repository, but unfortunately this isn’t alway available.

If you just want to share the files, the chmod a+r FILENAME will allow this to happen, but your directories above might need to be publicly executable (chmod a+x DIRNAME).

Another option is the pair netfile/netget.

For netfile type:

netfile USERNAME FILENAMES

to send files to a particular user.

That user just types

netget

to view the files they have been sent. They can then choose to accept the file by entering y. Note though, that this overrides local files.
