sharing folders

[Erik Heil]

Hi.  One suggestion here is to use gshare which is user-level sharing for
Gnome.  This solution though doesn't require any administrative
permissions, as it uses Zeroconf as its backend.  Basically waht you do is
create links in ~/.gshared_files to the content where you want to share
files.  For configuring the gshare daemon, their is actually a GUI applet
which is completely accessible with Orca.  Note that if you want to share
these files on Windows, you will need Bonjuer or however you spell it for
Windows which is released by Apple.  This is due to Windows not nativelly
supporting the necissary tools.

When my daughter did this she used the mouse and got another menu after clicking on the share this folder that gave choices to not share it, share it in windows networks and so on.
