Sorry for such an obvious question, but I really need help figuring this out. In the description of this module it says:

The Drupal 6 version is now available. Drupal 6 allows the same file to be attached to multiple nodes, and entirely removes the node-level access control for files. This module restores node-level access control, using the rule that a user can see a file marked private, if-and-only-if they have view access to at least one of the nodes that the file is attached to.

How do I attach a file to more than one node? Is there a way to bring up a list of private files to choose from?

Thanks.

Sorry, the Drupal 6 backend allows for it to happen, but does not provide a UI for it.

Drupal "technically" seems to allow the same file to be linked to more than one node.
Please provide the mean to do it, ie the ability to browse files in the server in addition to the desktop computer.

I second the request - I can't find anything out there to do this.

I have the answer:
forget the core file handling; deactivate it and go File Framework. It is an amazing package!

The preferred way is to use filefield and filefield_sources modules for that. Closing old issue.
