Yep I have samba running AOK for LAN access but I also need the
ability to download the files remotely. Sorry should have explained
more clearly.

motion generates the .avi files and I have been charged with the
project of allowing access via the web. I guess the profesional route
would be to use apache & php to make some kind of web based interface
but I don't know apache or php ! (QT AOK, Python AOK, C++ AOKish,
looking for a quick dirty route here :)
