Sharing: Basic file sharing application

Created by: JosephKiranBabu

Complexity: 2 points

Create a sharing application that can share any folder over the web for a group of users. Provide the basic functionality. This application will initially only share folders using Apache web server. For each folder that is shared, an Apache configuration snippet is added to share the folder. The functionality of this application is expected to grow later. The sharing may be done over all mechanisms such as Windows sharing, UPnP/DLNA sharing or Audio/Video streaming applications.

This task only creates the basic application skeleton necessary for sharing application and does not actually implement any functionality. For that see #944 (closed), #947 (closed) and #950.

  • Create a new Plinth application.
  • Write a description for the application functionality.
  • Write a manual page for the application functionality.
  • Assumption: There is no pre-setup required for the application.
