gnome-user-share is a small package that binds together various free
|
|
software projects to bring easy to use user-level file sharing to the
|
|
masses.
|
|
|
|
The program is meant to run in the background when the user is logged
|
|
in, and when file sharing is enabled a webdav server is started that
|
|
shares the $HOME/Public folder. The share is then published to all
|
|
computers on the local network using mDNS/rendezvous, so that it shows
|
|
up in the Network location in Gnome.
|
|
|
|
The dav server used is apache, so you need that installed. Avahi or
|
|
Howl is used for mDNS support, so you need to have that installed and
|
|
mDNSResolver running.
|
|
|
|
Note: On Slackware the gnome-user-share daemon must be started and
|
|
stopped manually. There are controls to start/stop the daemon in the
|
|
gnome-control-center "Sharing" panel, but these controls are hard-coded
|
|
to talk to systemd and will not start/stop the daemon. Instead, the
|
|
daemon can be run directly from its installed path of:
|
|
|
|
/usr/libexec/gnome-user-share-webdav
