directory with other users
In order to share files with other GNUnet users, the files must first be made
available to GNUnet.
This tool can be used to automatically share all files from a certain
directory.
The program will periodically scan the directory for changes and publish files
that are new or that changed on GNUnet.
-Which files have already been shared is remembered in a ".auto-share" file in
the shared directory.
+Which files have already been shared is remembered in a
+.Pa .auto-share
+file in the shared directory.
You can run the tool by hand or automatically by adding the respective options
to your configuration.
gnunet-auto-share has many options in common with gnunet-publish, but can only
be used to index files.

+This option can be used to specify additional anonymity constraints.
+The default is 1.
If set to 0, GNUnet will publish the file non-anonymously and in fact sign the
advertisement for the file using your peer's private key.
This will allow other users to download the file as fast as possible,
including using non-anonymous methods (discovery via DHT and CADET transfer).
If you set it to 1 (default), you use the standard anonymous routing algorithm
(which does not explicitly leak your identity).
However, a powerful adversary may still be able to perform traffic analysis
(statistics) to over time discovery your identity.
You can gain better privacy by specifying a higher level of anonymity (using
values above 1).
This tells FS that it must hide your own requests in equivalent\-looking cover
traffic.
-This should confound an adversaries traffic analysis, increasing the time and
effort it would
-take to discover your identity. However, it also can significantly reduce
performance, as
-your requests will be delayed until sufficient cover traffic is available.
The specific
-numeric value (for anonymity levels above 1) is simple:
-Given an anonymity level L (above 1), each request FS makes on your behalf
must be hidden in L\-1 equivalent
-requests of cover traffic (traffic your peer routes for others) in the same
time\-period.
-The time\-period is twice the average delay by which GNUnet artificially
delays traffic.
-Note that regardless of the anonymity level you choose, peers that cache
content in the
-network always use anonymity level 1.
