Use Connect to Server to connect to anywhere
Authored by: jonnycrunch on Mar 01, '07 12:08:06PM

Great hint! I have used a modification of a prior hint to tunnel Connect to server (Command - K) via SSH for a while.
Also by disallowing password access for SSH and using a ssh-key along with SSH-agent.
It is very secure, as even though i have personal file sharing turned on my 'server', it is behind NAT with port forwarding only for SSH over a non-standard port (ie 3022 rather than the standard 22).

After creaing the tunnel via SSH in the terminal using:
ssh -L 1548:127.0.0.1:548 server_name

I then Connect to server (Command -K) and point to
127.0.0.1:1548

Thus mounting the remote Volumes in the finder.

Thanks rob for this great site!
