Announcing GShare 0.90

Well, for starters you should use iFolder when you work at multiple computers and want to keep an up-to-date copy of the files you work on, on all of them.

Then, setting up GShare is easier than iFolder, specially the server version.

All in all, it depends on what you actually want to do with it. Me, I just want to share a few files with other computers in my home network.

Come now, this is a tool that is supposed to simply and openly publicize a directory of files. I don't think the security ramifications of such files being transferred unencrypted are generally very severe.

(Though, it would be very good for sftp services to be discoverable also.)

I look in the Network folder in Nautilus, I see an SFTP Share advertised ("[SSH] blackberry.noxious File Server")
Ooops, looks like Nautilus supports the discovery of SFTP services after all. True, I haven't seen it in OSX (I haven't seen service discovery working at all in Windows), but that's not really an issue, is it? Maybe they'll fix their products later?
Now, SSH doesn't advertise itself over DNS-SD, so you have to manually advertise it, but once advertised, GnomeVFS/Avahi, and therefore Nautilus, picks it up fine.

Also, GNOME-VFS doesn't support FTPS (either old SSL methods or TLS).

But it does support SFTP. Isn't it the same thing?

No. SFTP goes through an SSH connection. Even though there's VFS support for SFTP, SFTP services aren't discovered by GNOME-VFS DNS-SD component so it isn't an option.
