Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
UPnP is a set of protocols to share media on the network. It is also supported by a wide range of Wi-Fi access points.
Client
You also need a UPnP client, such as djmount, which can be installed (in Debian based distributions such as Kubuntu) using:
sudo apt-get install djmount
UPnP discovery can then be started using
djmount mountpoint
After that you can use it like a local folder and add it to your local collection.
Server
On Debian-based distributions like Ubuntu you can install a UPnP server using
sudo apt-get install ushare
The service is started in the terminal with the command
ushare -n servername [-i interface] [-c folder]
You can also manage shares using the web interface, which you can access by opening http://127.0.0.1:port/web/ushare.html in the browser, where port depends on your settings.
