I don't think thats possible with CIFS/SMB file sharing (which uses a 
pile of different protocols and encapsulations over both UDP and TCP 
packets, and many messages that contain service locator type information 
including port & ip), and its not very easy with FTP (which uses either 
passive or port based transfers and also sends port and address data 
embedded in PORT messages).
