File sharing

Look at the screenshot here:

To enable this, what packages should I install?

Samba.
Apparently, if you right click the folder you want to share and then click Sharing Options then Share over a network, it will install samba for you if it's not installed.

Sorry, but it not the correct answer. The screenshot shows gnome-user-share, and is part of Lucid Lynx.

"gnome-user-share is a small package that allows easy user-level file sharing via WebDAV or ObexFTP. The shared files are announced on the network by Avahi."

The package needed is apache2.2-bin. It depends on a few other files, so they need to be installed too.
