Re: Using Public Drop box folders



Hadn't even thought about experimenting with this - folder actions are something I've only just begun to play with on my own local machine.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Several of my teachers have asked for a way to have students hand in
documents electronically and I'm looking for a quick, painless
solution. I thought about setting up a workgroup for each teacher and
having an associated groups folder owned by the teacher for each group,
but it seemed like a lot of work to manage.

Why not just use a folder action that will take the file the student drops
on a folder, pre-pend that student's name to it, and then transfer that file
to the teacher's machine? If you enable ssh on the teacher's machine, you
could use a one line sftp command.
