Good Morning. I need to add a SAMBA/CIFS storage over the internet, but I need the port to be 4445 instead of 445 because my ISP does not accept ports smaller than 1024 as input.

My command to mount is:

Bash:
pvesm add cifs TESTE --server 190.15.5.X --share pasta --username user --password pass

This command try to mount on port 445 but i need 4445.
 
Hi,

it is generally not recommended to run CIFS over the internet, and most clients will probably not allow you to connect over alternate ports. Can you maybe set up a VPN to your remote site?

Hi, in this specific case i need to do with cifs over internet. In other cases i use vpn.
 
I do the job mounting with DIRECTORY (first mount as cifs and then create a directory), but i need to know how to mount with pvesm an alternate port (to learn).
 
As far as I'm aware, there's no built-in way to add custom parameters when using pvesm, and the CIFS backend does not have a parameter to set the port (you can see all available config options here [1]). I guess you might be able to mount it using a bare mount command by setting -o port=4445 and then adding the mountpoint as a directory, but again, this really is not advisable.
