The public folder would be my first option.
Second, create a shared folder on the server, have it
connect when the user logs on, give you and the user
permissions to read write. Upon connection when the
user logs on the share will be on the desktop, one
more double click away from the file actually being on
the desktop.
large scale - multiple folders inside the share with
'public folder' permissions for each users folders
solves the problem if the client computer is turned
off
