Help with Website

I was going to post this in the Off Topic section, but for some reason I don't have access.

So I have a personal website that I want to put video clips on. I have a few hundred files that I don't want to copy from my NAS to the server directory where the website is being hosted. (I host from home) I've tried using shortcuts, but I guess http doesn't recognize the extensions in the address. Does anyone know how I can stream these videos from my site while the files are on the NAS.

I'm running Windows Server 2008 with IIS Web role enable for hosting.

Thanks

You should be able to map a network drive in Windows Server to the shares on the NAS, then the server will see the share as a drive.

Only moderators/admins can create threads in Off-Topic. Also, I agree with the other poster, using an SMB share to make the videos appear local is a decent option but if you run into performance issues you might have to put them on the webserver (should be fine if it's all wired networking, not wireless).
