Description-en: User level public file sharing via WebDAV or ObexFTP
MATE user share is a small tool 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.
