There is no way to do what you suggest without at least minimally compromising security, however, it is certainly possible to do securely "enough".  What is the (general) content of the files it needs to access?  Are they sensitive?  What type of access -- relayed to the end user or just accessed by IIS?  Is the IIS machine in the domain or out of it?

Hi, the access through IIS only, our clients need to view, upload and download work contracts via our website. The various contractors login to our webportal and upload their work contracts or view any past work contracts and sometimes they need to modify perivouly worked contracts so need to download them. The IIS machine is on DMZ.  our current config is Internet -- DMZ  IIS7 server-- Firewall-- application server. The communication is set between IIS DMZ and APP server over port 80.  Appserver communicates with the DB server, Internal IIS server, FIle server,Report server.  currently files are stored on Filer server
