|
If for some reason you need to access a Samba share outside of the |
|
network, it is possible to access it through ssh and mount the share |
|
on your local computer. |
|
|
|
Using the ssh command as root is required because you will bind local |
|
port 139 which is reserved for root: |
|
|
|
# ssh -L 139:127.0.0.1:139 user@remote-server -N |
|
|
|
Then you can mount the share as usual but using `localhost` instead of |
|
`remote-server`. |
|
|
|
Example of a mount element for `usmb` |
|
|
|
<mount id="public" credentials="me"> |
|
<server>127.0.0.1</server> |
|
<!--server>192.168.12.4</server--> |
|
<share>public</share> |
|
<mountpoint>/mnt/share</mountpoint> |
|
<options>allow_other,uid=1000</options> |
|
</mount> |
|

As a reminder, `<!--tag>foobar</tag-->` is a XML comment. |
