You can connect to a server or network share to browse and view files on that server, exactly as if they were on your own computer. This is a convenient way to download or upload files on the internet, or to share files with other people on your local network. To browse files over the network, open the Files application from the Activities overview, and click Other Locations in the sidebar. A simple Samba share on one ISP with router doesn't work while another ISP with a different router setup the same and a similar server with same Samba configuration works. It seems to be either the router not forwarding the ports, although it successfully forwards SSH and others, or the ISP somehow blocking the standard Samba ports. This example is intended show how OpenVPN clients can connect to a Samba share over a routed dev tun tunnel.If you are ethernet bridging (dev tap), you probably don’t need to follow these instructions, as OpenVPN clients should see server-side machines in their network neighborhood. Samba shares available from internet Ok, I work on a laptop always, and all my files are on my fileserver (~2TB, thus nothing on the laptop). I want them to be accesible from wherever they are. If you need remote access to a Samba or Windows share, I think you should be looking at a VPN rather than exposing Samba/Windows shares directly to the internet. The ports in question (139 and 445) are very frequently probed/attacked - see DShield [dshield.org] for more info. Samba is a piece of software which adds the CIFS (Common Internet File System) filesharing protocol to Linux / Unix. CIFS is the filesharing protocol which is native to Windows. All that matters is that both sides understand the same protocol for filesharing so windows only networks mostly use CIFS and Unix/Linux networks mostly use NFS.

The following configuration allows authentication of added Samba users and give them access to save data in the user’s home directory. That is, each user added can access the server via Samba/SMB/CIFS and access the files in their home directory. [Global] workgroup = workgroup server string =% h server (Samba% v) log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m Remote Files Sharing by Windows or Samba over SSH tunnel. By Dmitri Dmitrienko: The problem of providing remote access to the files is nothing new, but the implementation of the solution quite often also determines reliability, safety and productivity. Yes, I once successfully accessed a Samba share over the Internet by enabling 4 ports in the firewall: 137, 138, 139, 445. Obviously, it was a test system. Don't try this at home. Samba is something that should not be accessible from the public Internet. Instead, you could just use SSH (as suggested).
