The unix system at my school is not mountable from off-campus. However, I can mount it via smbfs from my work computer (on campus), and I can mount my work filesystem via nfs from home. I figured that if the unix filesystem is mounted to my work computer, I could access it from home through my work computer. However, when I mount the work filesystem and access the directory under which the unix filesystem is mounted, it appears empty. If I ssh to my work computer and view the mounted filesystem from there, it is not empty. Is there some limitation here that I'm not aware of, or some option that I must invoke? I apologize for the unclear explanation of the situation here. I'm fairly new to the language of remotely mounted filesystems.
Thanks.
