Hi, I'm running Edubuntu 8.04 with LTSP. In /home, I have a "Drop" folder (/home/Drop) that students have write only privileges to for dropping in assignments for teachers to grade from the thin clients. Problem is, when students transfer their projects into the Drop folder, the system does a file move instead of a file copy. This moves the file from their directory which is also in /home, leaving the student without a copy or backup. What do I need to change so that when a file is transferred from a students home directory (/home/student), to the Drop folder (/home/Drop) a copy is transferred and not just moved.
