Idea #1415: REALLY simple file sharing

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #403: Improve file/folder sharing experience (Samba).
Written by Aceler the 29 Feb 08 at 14:01. Category: Internet & Networking. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
Yes, it can be based on samba, ftp, ssh, iFolder, any other protocol. But it must be simple for user - just right-click on a file and share it across the network.

Yes, thanks, I interested in, but it is often late to interest in something, when you need to share some files just now :)

There are nautilus plugins for this already, just not installed by default.

Can it be a uPnP media share? So music players and iTune can access it directly.

Why not just start sshd, and use the ssh:// protocol in Nautilus? Works reliably, secure, in seconds.

It's often no need to open the whole disk, only one file.

apart from Giver (mentioned above), Telekinesis seems to be a promising approach:
