HP CIFS Server and Encrypting Client Connections

Windows Client Configuration
The SSH client for Windows is Putty, which is a free client application that provides SSH, Telnet, and
a terminal emulator. Use Putty version 0.60, which can be downloaded from:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
Putty will be used to configure the SSH tunnel from the Windows client to the HP CIFS Server.
Windows Loopback Adapter
The tunneling solution on the client requires the re-direction of port 139 (for Windows XP) and 139
plus 445 (for Windows Vista). To do this without disabling file sharing on the client requires the
installation of a Network Loopback Adapter. Fortunately this is easy to do, and does not require
additional downloads.
From the Windows Vista Control Panel, open the Device Manager, select the computer name, right
click and choose “Add legacy hardware”.
