I want to put in our server a directory where users can read and write
files, so everybody else in the group can access this information.

The only trouble is if I put chmod 777 to let everyone read and write, also
they can delete the entire directory.

Is there a way to limit programs to execute only in the user directory, or
a way to make a directory writeable but can not overwrite or delete a file
already there?

Thanks in advance.

Alberto
