Accessing FreeNAS share remotely

[seimussier]

Hi,

I'm not a tech guru but somehow managed to get FreeNAS running on our company's local are network. Also succeeded to make three different shares available for access from various Windows 7 computers.

Now I'm wondering is it possible to map those FreeNAS shares as network drives to my Win 7 computer at home with the help of puTTy? I tried things with puTTy and managed to get the admin GUI open up in my browser at home but had no luck with accessing the shares.

Have you seen this thread? I followed that guide to setup remote access:

I hope you guys are not exposing your FreeNAS to the internet. That would be a huge risk. Also expose a share to the internet would mean open samba ports to it witch is also not a good idea.

Check the post above for other ways or set a private cloud, or a vpn. I use OwnCloud and OpenVPN at home for remote access, in my case, on my pfSense.
