Nautilus sharnig folders

I migrated to Archlinux from Ubuntu and for now its working for me. Arch is great. But.. in ubuntu there is now an option to right click on a folder and add a share on it. Simple window opens where you edit name of share and allow guest to see share.

How to add this option in archlinux? I have installed package nautilus-share but it doesn't seems to work. Do I have to change smb.conf?

Thanks for the anwsers.

Re: Nautilus sharnig folders

I think you could achieve this with some nautilus scripts. You might be able to find the script in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts on your ubuntu install (if you still have it around), although it might have been achieved differently. Or test your google skills to find some script that meets your expectations.

pacman -Ss nautilus

finds nautilus-share in [community].  Its description is, "Share files through Samba with Nautilus".

Re: Nautilus sharnig folders

Have you restarted nautilus after installing the package ? Remember that, if you're using gnome, nautilus will keep running in the background after you close the browser (because it draws the desktop). A

killall nautilus

will do the trick for you.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
