Hello all,

   I want to access files on my NetBSD system from my XP laptop.

   I know there's the option to enable "File and Printer sharing" in XP,
and run SMB on NetBSD, but I don't want to do that (read: I won't). On
the university network I'm on, I can see how much Windows spews out on
the network by monitoring my firewall, and I don't want to subject
others to that. Another reason is that I want to run over an encrypted
connection.

   Does anyone know of any good options?

   I thought NFS was the way to go, but upon reading up on it, AFAICT,
NFS won't run over SSH-initiated tunnels. And there doesn't seem to be
any free NFS clients for Windows.

   I should point out that I'm currently moving files with pscp; but I
want to mount a directory on my NetBSD system on my Windows system.

   Any tips?

Kind Regards,
Jan Danielsson
