Having a URL to each file

[Schmich]

I'm sorry if I use the wrong terms here. I'm wanting to have the files eg. "/mnt/pool1/my_image.jpg" to be a full URL for example: subdomain.dyndns.org/mnt/pool1/my_image.jpg (starting at mnt or pool1 isn't obligatory!).

Is there a way of doing it? If so using what? I'm eyeing the Owncloud plugin but I wish for someone to point the direction before I walk down a road.

edit: also, how would you call this? HTTP file access? Every time I try to search for something similar I end up on a guide/article about FTP.

What you want is a simple http server that serves up a directory. Owncloud is overkill for what you are asking for. Unless you want the added features of owncloud.

Thanks for replying. I'm not interested in the features of Owncloud. Is there an http server in FreeNAS? (or plugin) or would I have to make a separate (http) server and for example NFS mount from FreeNAS?

You can use an apache, nginx, or lighttpd jail. If you have other servers available you can nfs mount the freenas shares and serve it from there.
