Question

I’m kinda puzzled how does a unix path looks like. I have followed an example to write a simple fileuploader using GWT. But the guide was written with Windows in mind. Say if I have C drive. In windows I would told the program to save the files to C:\save_here\

But in unix, I’m using ubuntu, there are no C drives or other drives with a single letter representation. So I wonder what do I write instead? I’m getting error 500 all the time now. And I can’t figure out how the path should be.

The guide I’ve been following is found here

EDIT
It was not some problem duo to the path. Still need help though with fixing this problem. I basically followed the steps in the url I posted on this question.

Answer 1

unix paths start at a common root , denoted / and separates directories with a /
e.g. /home/starcom might be your home directory. So create a new directory, mkdir /home/starcom/uploaded and use that as the path. Or for testing you could perhaps just use /tmp
