I discovered VLS to do this job, installing the clients VLC on the users computers to see the videos. I installed VLS but i couldn´t understand the vls.cfg configuration. It seems i have to put an entry to each file i want to stream. Is it correct ? What is the TCP port i have to open in my server in order people can stream my files ?

Well, there  should be a sample  vls.cfg in the package.  Moreover, some
doc can be found on http://www.videolan.org/doc

About the port to open, udp streaming is a "push" technology, that means
that the client doesn't ask a  stream (this could be possible with RTSP,
which isn't implemented yet). You can  either unicast to a client, which
will receive  it whether he's asked  it or not, or  use multicast (then,
the receivers of the streams are set on the network layer).

Then you shouldn't  need to open any "input" port.  however, the default
destinbation port is 1234, the default source port 4321 (in UDP)
