Tomato w/ CIFS Share

[Trikzy]

I have a buffalo router running tomato firmware, and I have a 250 GB folder on my D drive and I have tomato's CIFS Share enabled and pointing to the shared folder.

I would like to be able to access this share remotely, so I can pull up all my files while on the road if needed.

I have a dyndns account setup so I can always point to my ip addy at home while on the go...

is there some easy way of doing this? seeing that the router now has access to that share?

cifs gives the router access to the drive. not sure how you'd further be able to use that.

ddwrt gives you a pptp server. if you used that, you'd be able to access the drive remotely.

dunno what this buffalo or tomatoe firmware is BUT... as long as it is some form of linux AND you have access to it (ie get ssh and configure it) you can mount those share remotely via port forwarding of ssh

I have a SAMBA server at home and when scp (even with winscp) gets a bit annoying I disable Windows file&printer sharing and use putty to ssh to my home server (from anywhere in the world) and enable port forwarding of: 445 as well as editing my host file

then I can go: \\127.0.0.1 and it gives me my remote shares
