Sharethis! is a useful Nautilus script that allows users to conveniently run an HTTP Server with their current directory serving as the document root. The great thing about this is that it enables fast and easy sharing of files. All you need to do is browse to the directory you wish to share and run sharethis either from Nautilus or through the command line.
There are two ways you can use the software: you can run it from the console by first navigating to the folder you want to share and then entering the command "sharethis" or you can select the sharethis option from the Nautilus-script menu. It's worth noting that the server will be accessible at port 8000.
To install Sharethis!, follow these steps: First, untar the file "sharethis-version.tar.gz" and navigate to this directory. Here, you'll find two folders: "bin" and "nautilus-script." Move the "sharethis" file located in the "bin" folder to your PATH and copy the "sharethis" file in the "nautilus-script" folder to the Nautilus script folder. You can create a local bin directory in your home or copy the "sharethis" file to /usr/bin/sharethis.
If you decide to copy the "sharethis" file to /usr/bin, you can skip step 2 and proceed to step 3. To add the "sharethis" file to your PATH, create a ~/bin and add it to your PATH, and edit your ~/.bashrc. Lastly, copy the Nautilus script to the nautilus script folder and you're done!
In terms of requirements, Sharethis! only requires Nautilus. Overall, Sharethis! is a great tool for Linux users who are looking for a fast and easy way to share files through an HTTP Server.
