  • Do you need to share files from network, or do you only want to share files via Bluetooth? – Takkat Mar 09 '16 at 15:19
  • At this moment just Bluetooth is necessary. – Faysal Ahmad Mar 09 '16 at 15:21
  • I am voting to close this question as I cannot reproduce this problem in Ubuntu 20.04. l have file sharing enabled and Apache 2 is not installed. – user68186 Sep 27 '21 at 23:35

Use

sudo apt-get install apache2

This solution has been provided from Share Files over the Network - What packages?

I got the same issue on my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and I fixed it

Install the following

sudo apt-get install apache2-bin libapache2-mod-dnssd

and restart Personal File Sharing and enable sharing over the network.

Then, to share a folder, right-click and choose properties. Then use the Local Network Share tab to share it.

enter image description here

You should now be able to browse your network using Nautilus and mount this folder from other Ubuntu machines, but not from Windows machines.

I tested this on Ubuntu 17.04
