nemo-connect-server

The `nemo-connect-server` command, when launched, facilitates sharing folders directly from the Nemo file manager through a network, typically employing WebDAV or similar protocols. This allows other devices or users on the network to access and potentially modify the shared files and folders. It effectively provides a lightweight file-sharing server integrated into the Nemo desktop environment. This command is a part of the `nemo` file manager. It is commonly used to share files temporarily between computers that have Nemo installed. Configuration details, security considerations, and the specific protocol used (e.g., WebDAV) might depend on the version of Nemo and any associated configuration files. The user interface for setting up the share usually resides within Nemo itself. The command typically handles the server-side aspects of the sharing process and might operate in the background until sharing is stopped.

The security of the shared files depends on the configuration of the underlying file sharing protocol (e.g. WebDAV). Always be cautious when sharing sensitive data. Sharing is usually handled via Nemo GUI and settings.

The `nemo-connect-server` command typically doesn't have a large number of command-line options because the details about shared directory, user access, and so on, will be set in the Nemo user interface. It is started when you enable sharing of a folder using Nemo's share functionality and it automatically terminates when sharing is disabled. If running in terminal, it probably writes to `stdout` any error information or debugging messages.
