Hey guys,
I've had a FreeNAS box for about a month now, and I'm still figuring out the best way of accessing my CIFS share remotely. I first tried an SFTP connection, and mapped a network drive on my MacBook Pro (using Transmit). The unfortunate thing about this, is that the file permissions get messed up.
I then tried an OpenVPN server on my Raspberry Pi, and tried connecting to it using a VPN Client on my laptop, which didn't work properly. It's probably my lack of knowledge, but I couldn't manage to connect to it. I am now trying to get a PPTP connection to the Raspberry Pi, allowing me to access my share remotely.
Both of the devices (NAS and Pi) are on the same subnet (IP 192.168.2.12 and 192.168.2.14). When I'm on my home network, my laptop shows the NAS under network devices, and I can connect to the CIFS share without any problem. When I, however, connect to my VPN, the NAS is not shown. I can ping the machine, I can connect to the web UI, however the machine isn't shown.
Does anyone know how to get it to show up?
