You are trying to get around the quota imposed on your home directory?
/tmp and /var/tmp are two of the usual places to create large files that do not need to stay around forever.

Hi.
Assuming that you have the file in /tmp, say with the name "q", then try each of the following while in your home directory: Code:
ln /tmp/q q ln -s /tmp/q q Note that code that is written to expect files to be in certain places is not very flexible. Look over the man pages on quota and ln to make sure that we are discussing the right concept and command(s): Code:
man ln man quota
