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: 
This doesn't really answer the question but I'm a fan of [Mozy](http://mozy.com) for off-site backup.

* Unlike Dropbox (which I do like too for sharing/syncing files), your files can be in any combination of directories.
* Backups happens automatically in the background so you don't need to think about it
* Backups are incremental - only changed files need to get sent
* Like Dropbox, Mozy stores previous versions (up to a month?) so you're not in trouble even if you "backed up" files *after* they went wonky.
* Your data will be encrypted with your own key (generated within Mozy client upon install) before it is sent over the wire, and you can optionally store this key with Mozy for safekeeping if you trust them enough and are afraid of losing your key.
* And unlike the homebrew approach of copying files to another machine at home, your backups are truly off-site.
I use a VPN for this. The file server runs poptop. Windows machines connect to it via the built in VPN client. SAMBA to share the folder, and voila.

Use WINS for naming for extra credit so the Windows machines don't need shortcuts to things like \192.168.0.x\sharename on the desktop.
