Hey guys
I'm trying to share folders using the new UserOS HomeServer 12.03 but when I right click the folder, there is no Sharing options... I would like to know what is the problem...Cheers

Did you watch the video tutorial? It should have been explained there - you need to launch the Nautilus File Manager to set the sharing options.

Cheers, Darren.

We had to do a fair bit of work to get this happening as we no longer use the GNOME desktop but Xfce. The problem with Xfce is it doesn't have Nautilus which has the very easy sharing options.

So in the end, you've actually got Nautilus and Thunar file managers but Nautilus is the one to use any time you share a folder.

Cheers, Darren.
