Thanks, I've already read that link, what was suggested didn't work.

I don't mind using smb, but I have a question or two I would be glad  
if you could answer:
Can you connect to a smb server over the internet?

For example in OS X give the address as smb://example.com?

Also, how would you get the passwords encrypted? Is this done by  
default.

Best regards

Gabe
