    Hi.

    I'm trying to tunnel a samba connection from a Win98 client to a Linux
    server over an ssh tunnel, using Putty.

    I've mapped the drive and it seems to be kind of mostly working. I can read
    and write files by copying / pasting, or open them using 'send to'.

    The trouble is, when I double-click on a file to open it, or right-click on
    it and select 'open', I get a lengthy delay followed by the error
    'directory is invalid'.

    Weird huh?

    I've searched google and discovered that various people have asked about
    this before but no-one seems to have wanted to answer them. Anyone fancy
    making history and explaining what the problem is, and what to do about it?

    Cheers for any help,

    Joe
