Hi, I have setup a Samba in Local network and working perfect. I want to release my share over Internet so that my PC at home can access this share at the RUN \\MYIPADDRESS. Is it possible? Cris
I don't know, but I don't think its a good idea... many times ISP's will even block such traffic... what I would do is tunnel over SSH... this would make it secure, give you the chance to use compression, cut though a firewall, and still be sharp enough to thinly slice a tomato... you'll have to either set up a box that keeps the tunnel alive or kill the server service on your box, because you'll be connecting to the shares on 127.0.0.1 if you make the tunnel on your box... understand?... I am too tired to try it now, and definetly not awake enough to explain it... On Tue, 7 Oct 2003, CHEUNG Chi Wai, Chris wrote:> Hi, > > I have setup a Samba in Local network and working perfect.

you really want to do that. It's all plain text over the internet except the password!

Thats a very bad idea as thats how lots of windows virusses try to spread :) Have a look at SSH; you can login, copy files, run remote sessions, all reasonably securely. You can probably tunnel a samba connection through an ssh connection too :) Gavs -----Original Message----- From: samba-bounces+gavdav=gavdav.demon.co.uk@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-bounces+gavdav=gavdav.demon.co.uk@lists.samba.org]On Behalf Of CHEUNG Chi Wai, Chris Sent: 07 October 2003 08:01 To: 'samba@lists.samba.org' Subject: [Samba] file sharing over Internet Hi, I have setup a Samba in Local network and working perfect.
