<!-- @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } --> Does smb sharing over ssh work under Windows 7? I have tried the Vista hack with no success.

As I understand, there is no changes on SMB protocol between Vista and Win7. I found another related thread:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistanetworking/thread/d30d3c98-58c5-47f6-b5a5-f5620882020dIf that does not help. Would you please describe the problem in more detailes:1. Does the issue occurs on Windows Vista comptuer?2. Does the issue occurs if we disable "Windows Firewall" an other firewall software on the Win7 machine?3. Is there any error message when the issue occurs?4. Please describe the network topology in more details. Do you mean that the file server is behind a firewall device, and you need to configure port forward settings on the firewall device?5. The issue is related to SSH. You may need to involve SSH vendor to troubleshoot this issue.

I used Vista for a week and will never ever use it again. Far most the shittiest OS ever made including Win ME =) Finally got ssh forwarding of SMB to work on WIN7 by _not_ using loopback adapters, just forwarded port 445 and 139 to localhost, 127.0.0.1 This was impossible with win XP so I did not even try it on WIN7.

I just recently started testing out SMB over SSH, and it worked great on XP, but I cannot get it to work on Windows 7 RTM.Using Putty, I have tried port forwarding (445,139) through 127.0.0.1, and I have also tried it through a loopback adapter, with no success.How did you get it to work?

Did you (or any one) make it work on Windows 7?

I'm in the same boat. SMB over an SSH tunnel won't go. Other services/ports (like 3306 for MySQL) works without a problem. I can even "telnet smb_server_ip 139" and it connects through the tunnel, but as soon as I try to offically map a drive with "net.exe use G:"... it fails and won't even try to connect through the tunnel at all.

please read http://www.nikhef.nl/~janjust/CifsOverSSH/VistaLoopback.html and see if that works for you ...
