(I'm presuming you want to access the files, and don't actually
require to use SMB as the access protocol)
If you want to access it regularly, tick 'add bookmark' and enter a
name.
Neat thing is that you can access the share via this method with any
GNOME application.
If your server doesn't have static IP, either ask your ISP for one or
use a "Dynamic DNS" service. You may also need to configure
port-forwarding on a router to forward port 22 to your CentOS server
AND/OR configure its firewall to allow port 22 connections.
Alternatively, ask your ISP for a public block of addresses - which
they're supposed to do for only an administrative charge.
