By default, when you upload an attachment, the attachment is linked
in at the bottom of the page. There are radio buttons on the Attach
page (just below the Browse and Upload buttons) where you can turn
off this default.
Our main goal in designing the Swiki is supporting classes, and even
at a techy place like here at Georgia Tech, most of our students
don't grok a lot about hierarchical filesystems, FTP, etc. We did
some versions where the Attach page was basically a front-end to an
FTP server, but that confused lots of people. In the current
version, the metaphor is "attaching a file to a page" (as one would
attach a file to email) -- by default, the file is in a page-specific
directory, and the link to the file is automatically inserted into
the page for you. You can change these defaults, if you want to, but
that meets the needs of our most common users.
