Accessing Samba shares through SSH

In Linux, you can access Samba shares by using a SSH prompt. We need a host PC (65.219.4.23) and a destination PC (192.168.0.81). We’ll usejack as a username but first we’ll create a new mount directory:

mkdir -p /samba/share

Now we connect to it:

ssh -N -L 139:192.168.0.81:139 jack@65.219.4.23 jack@65.219.4.23

Now we do a

umount /samba/share
/bin/mount -t smbfs -o username=jack,workgroup=workgroup_name,password=user_password,
port=139,dmask=770,fmask=660,netbiosname=homecpu
//localhost/share /samba/share
