The first question is, who set up the server side of the vpn connection
and what kind of vpn service is it running? Is it also openvpn? Do you
know the details of the configuration? It's very possible that your
problems are caused by a misconfigured vpn server.
however I have no idea how to actually find the files on the server
What kind of flle-sharing services does it offer? Apple file-sharing?
Windows file-sharing? NFS? None of the above?
If it's running any of the most common kinds of tcp file sharing
services you should be able to reach it from the Finder with cmd-K.
Exactly what you need to enter in the dialog depends on which services
it offers. If you entered a legitimate value for a sharing service that
you think it offers and you still can't get anything, your vpn isn't set
up properly. For example the server might offer nfs but only over udp.
The default client-side openvpn config used by tunnelblick is tcp only.
If it's not running any kind of file sharing service, then of course you
can't get at its file directly, though you should be able to access them
via scp or sftp as long as it offers the standard ssh service. There's
at least one gui front end to sftp that's pretty easy to use, though
personally I find it simpler to do this kind of thing on the command
line.
If I type the ip address or the path into safari this doesn't work
either.
Same question as above -- is this server machine actually running a web
server? If it is, something is wrong with your vpn connection and
you'll have to adjust the configuration, either on your end or on the
vpn server host.
