I agree. This seems like something that the Gnome System Tools may be able
to provide. They already deal with configuring the various services on the
many different distribution. If someone writes a web server,
ftp server, or whatver server configuration module for GST, it could
include context menu sharing functionality for Nautilus.

Just an idea ...
