Who is exporting and who is mounting? Your use of "from" is confusing. Is windows exporting via smb or Ubuntu?– terdonCommented Apr 1, 2013 at 18:14

how do I mount a Windows share from a Ubuntu Server. The Window share is on another network and I cannot open any ports on the network that is hosting this windows share. So correct me if I am wrong, but I would setup a Reverse SSH tunnel via putty on the Windows machine and setup portfordwarding in order to access the Windows share on the Ubuntu Server, correct?– Benjamin JonesCommented Apr 1, 2013 at 18:20

Ok, so with out any help from this form, I believe I am getting a little closer. I have setup a successful Reverse ssh tunnel to view my Windows laptop webserver that sits behind a firewall on another network from my Ubuntu Server. Putty portforward source:9090 destination localhost:80 and make sure the remote/auto options are clicked. Once resverse tunnel is established from putty (Windows laptop), try wget localhost:9090 from your Ubuntu machine. If you get your files transferred then the reverse ssh to your Windows laptop that sits behind firewall from your Ubuntu Server worked– Benjamin JonesCommented Apr 2, 2013 at 14:38

Well done for figuring that out! Could you please post your solution as an answer so others can benefit from it?– terdonCommented Apr 2, 2013 at 14:40

Now that I know Reverse SSH works, how would I get to my Windows share that is on the Windows laptop behind an unaccessable firewall, from my Ubuntu Server? I tried to set putty (plink would work as well) on my Windows machince to portforward source 4445 destination localhost:445, remote button clicked. Then use the command from my Ubuntu Server(connected from putty session): smbclient -L //localhost -p 4445 -U "Username" to list the reverse ssh Windows share. FAILED! Error: read error = NT_STATUS_END_OF_FILE. hmmmm not to sure what this means?– Benjamin JonesCommented Apr 2, 2013 at 14:47

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
