Tunneling SMB mount through SSH

  • Last tested on OS X El Capitan 10.11.5
  • Base reference: [1]

On one of the CLIs type the following. I'm assuming username (for connecting to my server) is "mhan" and the server address to be "pisteos.hanovate.com".

$ sudo ssh -p 2323 -l mhan -L 139:localhost:139 pisteos.hanovate.com

Then on a separate terminal type the following:

$ mkdir /Volumes/sharename
$ mount -t smbfs //localhost:139/sharename /Volumes/sharename

Changing hostname that shows up on CLI

The hostname doesn't seem to change in spite of changing the computer name in Sharing preference, and NetBIOS names. This command has to be executed at the CLI to change the hostname.

$ sudo scutil --set HostName newhostname.local
