If you are sharing files to windows machines then it is easier to have the files to be shared on a UFS formatted partition and to use SAMBA to share the files. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-samba.html.

It's indeed a reasonable solution, but the access to Samba services must be restricted to the internal network only. Samba is a very good choice for this particular case, but its security history is quite bad.
