Access Windows Share from local linux machine through remote ssh server
I work from my Ubuntu laptop. I need to access a Windows share that is accessible only from within my university's LAN. But, I can ssh to a remote server which is right there in univ's LAN. I believe there must be a way to hop from my laptop to the remote server to the Windows share, but apparently I can't make it work.
I tried to ssh the remote machine, and access the windows share with smbclient
smbclient //the.windows.share/my_group_share -U username
with NO success (got a NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME error ). I've searched and read on the web and found some solutions using VPN over SSH tunneling, but I'm not sure it fits for my needs. besides, a first attempt did not work, couldn't even connect.
can somebody point me to a solution?

You can probably tunnel the SMB connection through SSH. In your .ssh/config:
Host your_remote_host
LocalForward localhost:139 the.windows.share:139
Then, ssh your_remote_host sleep 10 & smbclient //localhost/your_group_share -U username might work

so I configured ssh and used this commandsudo ssh -F ~/.ssh/config remote_host sleep 10 & smbclient //localhost/my_group_share -U username, because withoutsudoit says those privileged ports can't be forwarded, but the remote_host is host-configured. but I keep getting that error message about the network name. As I said, it is correct, because I copied it from thefstab, where I set the share to automount, when I am in my office at the univ.

After that there are several ways to make it work.

First of all, you need to get the samba connection to work. NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME means the client wasn't able to find the share - check the typing (case, typos, etc.). It might be also connected to access rights on the server, so veryfying that it works from windows should be the first step.
After that there are several ways to make it work. One involves tunnelling Samba through SSH: forwarding appropriate ports with ssh and then using Samba to connect to a port on your local machine (which is forwarded to the remote on-campus system). Alternatively, if you can mount the Windows share on the campus server and export it via SSHFS.
