If you post a file on your gopher sdf.org site,
you might end up finding that the gopher client
refuses to open it. That could be because you
haven't given anybody else but you permissions
to read it.
To remedy that just run: chmod go+r yourFile.txt
on your terminal. Now the file is visible to
the world! Hooray!
(You can take advantage of this to have your
drafts on any folder and publish it when they
are polished enough)
