GNOME and by proxy Fedora, ship a network "File Sharing" feature. It is accessible via the banner within the "Public" folder in Nautilus, and from within GNOME Control Panel, located under the `Sharing`>`File Sharing` section. You can just toggle a switch and any users on the local network can send and recieve files from your host computer. However, currently the password protection feature is completely broken and unusable. It is not possible to mount a network share in Fedora Linux (Workstation Edition) if it has a password. The share MUST remain unprotected for it to work. Please, see the "Additional Details" section of this report for links to other resources related to this topic. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open "Files" 2. Navigate to "~/Public" 3. Click "Sharing Settings" 4. In the popup "Settings" window, click "File Sharing" 5. Toggle the "Password" option to "ON" and enter a password 6. Toggle the "File Sharing" feature on by toggling the switch corresponding to your local network at the bottom under "Networks" 7. On the same computer (or another computer on the same network), open "Files" 8. In the left navigation panel, click "+ Other Locations" 9. Select the network mount point you just created 10. Enter the username "guest" as prompted, and the password you created 11. To verify the "File Sharing" feature isn't broken altogether, go back to the "Settings" window, and disable password protection 12. Try re-mounting the drive following steps 7-10 Actual Results: You will receive one of many errors. You will also recieve additional errors if you click the provided URL displayed in the "Settings" app in the "File Sharing" modal. Furthermore, attempting to copy and paste the URL into the address bar of "Files" by pressing Ctrl+L and pasting also has a different error. Expected Results: Entering the username "guest" and the password you provided when making the network share should be enough to correctly mount the network share. All dependencies for this feature are met according to the official documentation which can be found in the "Help" app under Help>Settings>Sharing Settings.
