Yup, they're different. But using a "task-based" analysis on this, they are 
the same and should belong together. You share your files, or access other 
shared files. Users do not think about client--server, server--client 
architecture types. Their object of concern is "files". They "share this 
file" or "access other shares". They belong together and configuration should 
not be separated from each other.
