Pardon me for saying, but that doesn't sound like the best idea either.
With that scenario (world writable) any script kiddie with a bug up it's
butt could write a small perl script and cram at least a few hundred
MB/hour in your directory. Unless you're locked into this scenario by your
ISP, I'd seriously recommend changing the permissions to only allow
validated users to write to your directory. But then again.. I'm always
more paranoid than needed it seems.
