File sharing question

I recently came across a customer that is starting a new business they have 4tb of data in posters and stuff that would like to keep, also they need to have access to the data via the web, they have a fairly new windows server 2008 r2 that i would be adding a bigger HD to it, what would be an easier way for them to be able to access the files from the web, i was thinking VPN, but they have the one server to do it all, I had them get a small pfsense firewall, i guess my question is, What could be a secure easy way for them to access the files while in conferences.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by 'from the web'.  Do you just mean remote from the office or they want to get to it via web browser?

I assume you're suggesting satellite SSL VPN connections from outside the environment connecting in to the file server, why not access is as a share when connected through the tunnel?

Yup they are going on the cheap, ill just have them VPN into the server were the files are and that is that, they have at least a static IP, they were connecting to a buffalo nas on their network, this was setup by them not even going thru the buffalo site. well I guess that solves this problem. thanks again.
