Not directly, that I'm aware of. You can tunnel 139/tcp via ssh, and then
try to set up a network drive against localhost. But I never had any
success with that approach.
In the end, a lot of people give up on this idea and go with a better one:
work locally, then synchronize your files with the server using Unison
(http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/). This approach has important
advantages. Unison will use ssh as its network transport for secure
transfers, but it's much more bandwidth-efficient. If you have a remotely
mounted share drive, any time you save a file the whole file has to travel
across the network. But saving to your local hard drive is fast, and then
Unison uses the rsync algorithm to transfer just the changed parts of
files.
Good luck,
Andrew.
