Easy filesharing?

[David B. Cortarello]

Hello,
  A couple of years back I used thunar-shares-plugin
(http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/thunar-plugins/thunar-shares-plugin)
with Thunar 0.8 to share folders with samba, I don't know if the
plugin will still work with the existing versions of thunar, but you
could take a look at it.
  You could also develop a shell script for a custom action with
gtkdialog to do this (I did this before I knew of the existence of
thunar-shares-plugin)

 Regards
