[LON-CAPA-users] uploaded files (in essay responses or elsewhere?)

[Ray Batchelor]

Uhhh... english usage misunderstanding.

  I understand that "I" can restrict this and I understand how.  
What I was interested in learning about was:
 what "you" (meaning yourself and others), typicially do and what problems 
have occured regarding this whole issue.  
e.g. security concerns... problems with grading or viewing uploaded files etc 
etc

Cheers,
Ray
