Since you're already using ssh tunnels, you could try using the sshfs filesystem to mount your windows directories remotely on your server. sshfs is available for Debian, and I believe it should be able to mount directories hosted on a windows system just as easily as anything else. Of course, for this to work you'd have to run an ssh server on your *windows* box (and it would have to be visible over the network from your server). But running an ssh server on your windows box might be a bit easier than setting up a sambda share. HTH, Toby -- Dr T. S.
