Question: I was going to attempt Samba over SSH, any better ideas?

Edit:
My mom has been bugging me to do some offsite backing up of her files. She currently uses [Norton Ghost](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_%28software%29). I have a VPS that I use for some other stuff and I figured that I could just setup a FTP server and let Norton connect to that for some offsite backing up action. But for some unknown reason, Norton doesn't handle SFTP or FTPS, so I have to figure out how to automatically mount a Linux drive on Windows or get Norton working with SFTP.

Edit:
Thanks for all your help guys (girls?)!

Answer: 
Seems like a sensible idea to me. I've done this before.

There is a slight snag in that your local windows machine is probably already running it's own file sharing server (so you can't bind to localhost:139 when forwarding) and I you can't specify which port to connect to for file sharing.

Really simple solution is to disable file sharing on your windows machine, or Samba over SSH without disabling local file sharing
You can also install [Windows Services for UNIX](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/interopmigration/bb380242.aspx) on your Windows machine and access your Linux box via NFS
