Mount drive on remote machine

My current set up is:

I have my main machine (Darkseid) upstairs which has a drive with all my films on it, which I don't keep mounted.

Downstairs, next to the tv, I have a htpc (Archangel) which has xbmc installed on it, which points to a samba share on the main machine.

Everything works fine when the drive is mounted, but is there a script I can write to send a command to the upstairs machine from the downstairs machine to mount the drive to save the walk upstairs? #lazy

Both machines are Ubuntu 12.04

The way to do this would be to establish a remote connection to your server upstairs by using SSH.

By this you are able to remotely mount or unmount drives and you can even mount a remote directory on your local mythubuntu machine.
