The creator of a file is considered the Owner of the file or directory. This is also true of files stored on any networked computer, whether a personal computer or a public lab computer. There are several ways of sharing files across the network. Instructions for attaching files to email sent from WebMail, Netscape Messenger or Outlook Express can be found in their respective Help files. VAX Mail also has the ability to send attached files in a mail message.
Many departments also have workgroup directories set up for special projects.
Students can view their work and that of other students but cannot edit or delete the files in a class directory. A user profile is a file that is created upon your first login to a networked computer. A profile contains default settings for that specific computer. You can subsequently customize the settings to suit your preferences, but remember that they are machine specific and do not affect any other networked computer except the one you are using at the time. A profile is created for you on every computer that you use on campus.
