Hi I need to make my samba server available over the internet to a mobile user base. I was wondering if samba could be run over ssh (at both client and server ends). I am not comfortable about opening ports 139 and 445. Thanks.

I am not comfortable about opening ports 139 and 445.The standard answer is to use a VPN.

Does it work the following way : Linux Server : Samba (139,445) -- 22 -------- Internet -------- 22 -- Windows ? (numbers are port numbers)
