This will teach you how to enable file sharing in ubuntu desktop, hopefully.

1. Sharing files and folders across your network from your Ubuntu PC is every bit as easy as sharing files in Windows (arguably, it’s easier). Start by right-clicking the folder you want to share, and select Share Folder. If the services required to share files/folders aren’t installed, you’ll be prompted to install them.
2. After clicking Install services they will automatically start to download and install.
3. Once that has completed you’ll be presented with an options window. From here you can select the type of sharing (SMB or NFS), give the shared folder a name and decide if you want read-only access to the folder. Click OK when you’re done.
4. If you right-click on your newly shared folder and select Properties and then the Emblems tab, you can give the folder a unique icon so you’ll know it’s shared.
5. You can further modify the permissions of your shared folder by selecting the Permissions tab after right clicking.

To add a user to use the share:

1. Now open a terminal in Ubuntu and enter the command:
   sudo smbpasswd -a username

This will add a user/pass for you to use.

YAY! we’re done!
