Web server to serve files via HTTP

[psilikon]

I'm planning on using FreeNAS as a storage solution in my company. Some of the data that will be stored needs to be accessible by local users via their web browsers. What type of configuration could I implement to make entire directories accessible? I don't need the data password protected but I would like read access to be limited to users in the same subnet. Thanks

You have a couple of options:
Run a webserver in a jail.
Or
Run a separate webserver and connect to the directories over NFS/CIFS from the webserver.
Do not attempt to modify the FreeNAS nginx install.

Thanks! Looks like i'll go with the webserver in a jail option. Any howto's you can point me towards to get me started?
