#1303524: Share a folder over local network.

 

Hello,
I just wanted to ask what way of implementing bug/feature #1303524 a.k.a "share a folder over local network" should I choose. First of all, the UI entry: I was thinking about a right-click menu entry (Share over network) that opens the folder properties window where there could be a new tab for basic sharing options. Then, we need to choose a way to use samba: We need a stable, light, and "clean" solution. Why not, by writing an object that interact with the samba cli and config file (see How to Create a Network Share Via Samba Via CLI). <http://www.google.com/url?q=https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%2520to%2520Create%2520a%2520Network%2520Share%2520Via%2520Samba%2520Via%2520CLI%2520%28Command-line%2520interface/Linux%2520Terminal%29%2520-%2520Uncomplicated,%2520Simple%2520and%2520Brief%2520Way%21&sa=U&ei=sbsOVKHlCY_kaLyKgBg&ved=0CBQQFjAA&usg=AFQjCNH1ryTZeKZNd9Pt1ynB21IN0w4YBg>
