required packages for sharing files over a network

U need Samba OR SSH.
For easy-use and sharing by nautilus, it's ok to use Samba.

When you try to share folder in 1st time, nautilus will ask system to install all required packages.
In any case you can install those manually.

$ sudo apt-get install samba

$: command not found
this is what i get when trying what you suggested

On both Ubuntu 9.10 pc

To install or verify if samba is installed please open a terminal from Applications→Accessories→Terminal and type the commands below:

sudo apt-get update

give your user password when asked and then press enter (you will not see any screen chars when you type the password)

Then type:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install samba

Then use nautilus menu Places→Home folder to share the desired directory or System→Administration→Printing to share a printer

Hope this helps

The "Personal File Sharing" function in Ubuntu is provided by the package gnome-user-share. In order to allow sharing your Public folder over the network, you will need to install two additional packages (I'm not sure why they are not installed by default!) The packages are apache2.2-bin and libapache2-mod-dnssd. You can install these packages with the following commands:

sudo apt-get install apache2.2-bin
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-dnssd
