    Hello

    Im trying to tunnel my SMB connection thru SSH using putty, and im not quite
    sure if im doing it right.

    I want to do this because first off, smb is not encrypted and second, SMB
    ports are blocked by a firewall.

    a little backround : Im running a Win2k Pro machine, and i want to be able
    to mount via smbmount my shares from that machine, to a linux machine that
    is protected by a firewall that blocks ports 135-139 and 445, inbound and
    outbound.

    I use Putty frequently to connect to it remotly and saw the tunneling
    option, thing is i cant get it to work...

    Can someone help me with that, ive tried reading the manual on port
    forwarding but i dont think in doing it right.

    So to recap, im trying to mount a drive to a linux machine over the net
    using SMB tunneled thru SSH.

    If you have a better way of mounting the shares on the linux server ( No
    FTP, i want to be able to access that as though it was a VPN ) other than
    smbmount, please let me know as well.

    Thanks
