I can't test on the Win98 box right now, but the good news is the share is 
working perfectly (and at a decent speed) on the WinXP remote system.

So it seems to be a Win98 only failure, something I can live with. I would still 
be interested in knowing what's going on, though.

Thanks and Regards,

As of version 2.6.0, rsync uses ssh as default transport mechanism. Rsh is still supported by 'rsync
-e rsh' syntax.

That's the first thing I tried, several days ago, I should have mentionned it!

It doesn't work because I have trouble with special characters and european 
accents (my remote system is Mac Os X). It seems to be a referrenced bug with 
rsync (adding the capability to choose remote system's charset), and I couldn't 
find a way to fix it...

That won't work if the share requires a password, which your original
post implied.  What I meant was to "net use" the share as Z: (providing
the password) and then "mount z:/ /foo/bar".

Of course you can't, Explorer has no concept of a Cygwin mount.

As Corinna said, why not just use rsync?

I'm not sure I understand your problem, but why don't you just use
`rsync -e ssh'?

Thanks for your answer. I tried
	$ mount //myserver/user /test
the command worked as shown with
	$ mount
	\\myserver\user on /tmp type system (binmode)
	...
but I still have my 'permission denied'
	$ cd /test
	BASH: cd: data: Permission denied

And this time I cannot access C:\cygwin\test through Windows Explorer.

I forgot to say that the share is a samba server, maybe it's a problem? 
I also tried to put 'set CYGWIN=smbntsec' in my cygwin.bat without any 
success.

I hope it will be fast enough for me. The reason I don't want to simply 
use SFTP is that I need rsync's synchronization capability... If 
someone can suggest a better way, I'll buy it...

That was what I suspected.  Even if you aren't sharing anything the SMB
server still is listening on the interface.  It looks like ssh only
binds to localhost and not 0.0.0.0 which would fail.

But I guess that doesn't matter, since the net use succeeds and you can
access Z: through explorer.  What happens if you try mounting Z:/
instead of using /cygdrive?

I've done SMB-over-ssh in the past but I used PPTP, not this method (for
the binding reasons already mentioned.)  I abandoned it though because
over a broadband connection it was untolerably slow.

Actually, according to netstat, the binding works because it listens to 
127.0.0.1:139, while the windows' sharing service listens to my locally 
assigned ip address, for example 192.168.1.25:139.

That's my guess after some additional researches. I still don't know 
why I get a 'permission denied' when I try to access this mounted 
drive, though.

Thanks for your help,

I'm simply not sharing anything on the W98 box. On the XP box where I 
need the sharing facility, I'm planning to add a loopback card with 
another ip (procedure found here: 
<http://www.blisstonia.com/eolson/notes/smboverssh.php>). Don't know 
yet how I will bind the forwarding to that network through cygwin, 
tough.

I'm quite sure the port forwarding works, though, because:

1. I tried to add verbosity, and it seems that everything is ok
	...
	debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey).
	debug1: Local connections to LOCALHOST:139 forwarded to remote address 
myserver:139
	debug3: channel_setup_fwd_listener: type 2 wildcard 0 addr NULL
	debug1: Local forwarding listening on 127.0.0.1 port 139.
	debug2: fd 4 setting O_NONBLOCK
	debug3: fd 4 is O_NONBLOCK
	debug1: channel 0: new [port listener]
	...

2. My lmhosts entry for 'myserver' is set to 127.0.0.1 and I can't get 
the next step to work if I don't forward the port according to step 
1...

Any idea on what it's going on?

Thanks a log,

I'm surprised that this works.  Normally if you try this on a windows
machine the port forwarding setup will fail because the local SMB
service on that machine is already listening on 139, and so it's
impossible for ssh to bind to that port.  How are you getting around
this?  Have you tried adding verbosity (-vvv) to the ssh command to see
if there are errors setting up the port forwarding?

ssh tunnel and permission denied

[Leonard Bouchet]

Hi all,

I'm trying to configure smb over ssh with cygwin and have some trouble. 
I can't access my smb drive through cygwin when I'm mounting it 
throught the ssh tunnel. Here are the steps I follow:

# Step 1: open the ssh tunnel
$ ssh -fNL 139:myserver:139 user@myserver

# Step 2: connect to the smb drive
$ net use 'Z:' '\\myserver\user' <mypassword>

# Step 3: try to access the drive
$ cd /cygdrive/z
BASH: cd: z: Permission denied


Note: When I follow this procedure without tunnelling (direct access to 
the smb drive), I can access the drive without any problem.
Note 2: I can normally access Z through windows' explorer, it's only 
through cygwin that I have a 'Permission denied'

Can anyone help me on this?
	
Thanks a lot,

-l

P.S. using Windows 98 at the moment, but planning to do the same on XP 
Pro, I hope it's a Win98 related bug...
