To access a fileType the pathname within a pair of * and + characters. For example, if upload a file called eric.pdf I could reference this file by typing *+eric.pdf+* This reference will work for either page-specific or Swiki-general uploads, but it does check the page-specific uploads first. The problem with this scheme is that if you want to reference some files that were uploaded to another page, you either have to upload them again to either the new referring page or to the Swiki. I added a feature to the Swiki that allows you to access files on other pages. So, for example if you have loaded pictures of everyone in your group to a *faces* page, you can refer to one of these files as: *+faces/s12.jpg+* (if you know the page number of *faces*, you can also use that: *+25/s12.jpg+* which reflects the underlying directory structure.) This doesn't provide a completely general directory hierarchy, but is workable.
