webdav would be not using samba at all, unless you mean having a web server smb mount a samba share and export that via webdav, but that's indirectly samba. You could also just use a php/python/ruby/whatever based web file manager if osx lets you specify a port for the connection, you could ssh tunnel port 445 for each server behind the firewall, which is also a sort of vpn (in the loosest definition). other than that, accessing samba remotely requires a vpn of some sort to not have it hammered by malware thinking it's a windows box. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
