A nautilus-share extension to easily share folders without root access.

Nautilus-share allow you to share folders through samba without needing root access. More Infos on how it acheives this are available on the homepage.

Instructions about installing from source and Ubuntu packages are available on the homepage.

Here are some key features of "nautilus share":
Easy to use: Only simple choice to make:
A name for the share
Read only or Read/write
Quick and integrated in nautilus: no need to look for a separate application in a sub menu:
Right-click on a folder
Choose the "Share" entry
Check the checkbutton, and you are done!
No need to be root: you can share your own folders without asking for any root password. It uses the same technology (dbus (http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/dbus)), as many new softwares with the goals of project Utopia: NetworkManager (http://people.redhat.com/dcbw/NetworkManager/), gnome-volume-manager (http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gnome-volume-manager/), etc.
Share with all other operating system: using samba as its backend, your shares are accessible to Windows and Mac users.
Instant Apply: Your changes are applyed as soon as you change something (name, read/write, etc).
Check share name as you type: If the share name that you choose is already used or forbidden, you see it immediately as you typed it.
Know what you share: Nautilus put a nice palm on the folder that you share, no need to start a separate application to check it.
You see if the share name is already in used by someone else : Visual indicator if the sharename is too long or not valid.
You don't have to unshare the folder before deleting it : Automatically unshare deleted folders
