I am going to make a directory only you / I can read in the TB directory: "upload". Put new files there, then 'mv' them to six. We had a few glitches in the past where someone was downloading what you were uploading, and they got corrupted files. I had the same problem backing them up. I will not touch any files in the upload directory unless you would prefer I mv 'em to 'six'. we have 120 gigs. have mercy... :)
