Hello,

I am trying to access a samba drive over ssh. I have a windows machine with a samba drive to connect to my linux vm drive, I also run cygwin on the windows machine. What I am trying to do is from my linux vm ssh into the windows cygwin side and cd into the samba drive which connects back into my linux directory.

When I am in cygwin I can see the drive as drive Z: but when I ssh into cygwin the Z: drive doesn't show up. Can anyone offer suggestions on how to get this working?

The only 2 options that I can think of is the set up a root user with permissions in Windows or set up an ssh tunnel.

Thanks

A: 

Can't you go to /cygdrive/z ?

@Jeroen Moors -- You can't do this as you don't have permissions. You need to be root but as you are actually in windows cygwin has no default root user
