Comment (by arma): For historical context, we spoke of four options: (a) you give one of the torwww people a link to a thing and they stick the thing on dist. there are enough people in torwww that i bet this would work fine. (b) we pick one of the three and add them to torwww and hope that it doesn't make the fire that is torwww burn higher. (knowing that every person in the group can go modify every download, if they want or if their computer gets compromised enough) (c) stick the files somewhere else" if that's a fine choice for you (d) make a new group that can write to one dir. torwww can still steal your thing, and it means torwww is unable to clean things up without root because it's a bad option. I am unexcited about 'd' because it means we go even deeper into the wrong solution. The right solution is to implement #13134 so torwww actually has a scalable way to keep track of files. Right now 13 people can go edit any the files on dist, and adding more people to that set is not necessarily wise. That said, I am open to options 'a' or 'b' if they resume looking better than option 'c'. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/26849#comment:7> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
