SMB through SOCKS Tunnel

[owen123]

Hi,

So I have setup a ssh tunnel which connects to a linux server at my house, which I connect to from other networks. I have it setup as well to work on a localhost port so that I can enable socks proxy in system preferences and tunnel my internet traffic through my home network.

I would like to be able to access samba shares that exist at my house through the SSH tunnel. I have been able to find so threads online about this however if I try using:

sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.2.28/*shareName* /Volumes

I get the following message 'mount_smbfs: server rejected the connection: Authentication error' despite the info being correct.

So to summarise, I would like to be able to access SMB shares remotely using a SSH tunnel.

Thanks in Advance

Owen

//192.168.2.28/*shareName* /Volumes[/CODE]
I get the following message 'mount_smbfs: server rejected the connection: Authentication error' despite the info being correct.

Try to mount

smb://username:password@ipaddress/foldername

If not working try afp or cifs protocol instead of smb, because Apple likes to do samba on their own way instead of how it should #
