Free sharing folders software for linux

Amarok has a built-in function for setting the icon for folders (the one that displays in Konqueror etc) to be the cover image for the album it contains. However, it only works if you let it recognize your music.

Amarok Folder Icons script will scan the current directory and sub directories for music, and set all the folder icons where it can determine that the folder contains tracks from just one album.

This works best if you store your albums in a flat structure e.g.

/path/to/your/music/artist name - album name/

Installation:

Copy the script to your main music directory, and make it executable:

At a terminal:

$ chmod +x make_amarok_folder_icons.py

Usage:

At a terminal:

$ cd /to/your/music/folder
$ ./make_amarok_folder_icons.py

Volume Sharing Manager (Vsman) is a utility that has been designed for volume (directory) sharing management on the server side. So far, it manages NFS v3 and V4, but can be extended to others volume sharing systems.
You can select a NFS v4 server interface in the preferences dialog box. Otherwise, invoke vsman with the flag -4 in order to display the NFS v4 specific mounting options when needed.
Vsman must be run as root. It displays on the left a tree view of known directories with their possible accesses, i.e. client hosts that can mount directories from the server where vsman is running.
Each directory is displayed with a green, yellow or red spot.
Green if the directory is exported but not mounted.
Yellow when exported and mounted.
Red when unexported.
When you double-click on an access, the left side shows its mounting options.
You can obviously declare a new volume. Vsman just asks you the name of the corresponding directory. You can of course create or delete accesses for the current volume. When you create one, a dialog box appears, that asks you the suitable host name, network
name or address, or netgroup name.
If the host filed is empty, the networks field is then tested, and if empty again, the netgroup is selected.
If you select "NIS" instead of "Files" in the preferences dialog box, the hosts, networks, users and groups will be fetched from the given NIS domain name. For more info about NIS, read the corresponding HOWTO documentation.
Selecting the Reexport menu will reexport all and synchronize vsman with the exported volumes declared in /etc/exports.
Double-click on a mounting host and select Unexport Host in the Action menu, and the current volume will be unexported from the corresponding volume.
Unexport whole volume will do the same thing, but for all the mounting hosts.
The Start / Stop menu will stop or restart the NFS server.
The Save menu will write the NFS /etc/exports file and reexport all volumes.
This tool has been written in Ada 95, using gtkada 2.4 as the toolkit. Dont forget to install gnat 4.1.x or later. Gnat is now a component of the gcc suite.
Enhancements:
- A few important bugs were fixed.
- Hostname lookup was added.
- The compilation and installation process was improved.

MUTE File Sharing is a peer-to-peer network that provides easy search-and-download functionality while also protecting your privacy.
It compiles as a fast, native application for many platforms (no Java, no Python, etc.).
MUTE protects your privacy by avoiding direct connections with your sharing partners in the network. Most other file sharing programs use direct connections to download or upload, making your identity available to spies from the RIAA and other unscrupulous organizations.
MUTE is based on research, and experiments show that it works quite well. MUTEs ant-inspired routing is light-weight, robust, and adaptive. Results from experiments in real MUTE networks show that the collective behavior of MUTE nodes quickly finds the shortest (or fastest) routing path between two nodes on the network.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes bugs in MUTEs initial connection to the network upon startup.
- MUTE has also been upgraded to Crypto++ 5.4, so it should now compile using GCC 4.1.

Shezhu Resource Sharing System project is an application for scheduling and booking shared resources such as rooms and equipment.
The client only needs a modern Web browser.

Requirements
In order to run or build the Shezhu Resource Sharing System you need some third-party software available on your machine.
Client
The client needs a modern web browser and the best browsers for this application are Firefox, Mozilla (including the Netscape branded equivalent and Gecko derivatives such as Galeon) and Microsoft Internet Explorer. The newest versions of all these browsers will work best. This application also works with the Konqueror and Opera browsers but these have some issues which may affect functionality. All browsers need JavaScript enabled. Any of these browsers may not work properly (or at all) depending on the operating system they are running under. Text based browsers (such as Lynx) are not supported.
For a comprehensive list of supported client browsers and operating systems refer to this browser compatibility chart from the most recent release of the application.
Server
The server needs recent versions of the Apache web server and the MySQL database server.
The server has only been tested on Redhat9 and FedoraCore3 Linux/i386 platforms although there is no specific reason why it should not work on other Linux platforms and distributions.
Development
Rebuilding this application from source requires a standard Unix development environment with the sh, make, cc, cpp, sed and awk utilities. Also required are RCS, Perl (5.6+) and the ImageMagick program. Also required is RPM to build a distribution. All these programs would probably come as standard in Linux distributions, other platforms may not have all of them by default.
Enhancements:
- This release adds support for Apache2 and multi-site installations, internal restructuring, a better installation tree, and improved access control management.
