I have a media server at home. It contains about a TB of my favorite movies/clips in DivX/XviD format. It also has a FTP server running, so that I can access these files when I'm visiting friends. Is there a way I can setup these files to be streamable to other locations? So that I wouldn't have to download the whole movie when I'm away from home, but rather stream it to my remote Windows Media Player, VLC, Whatever...?
Any recommendations?
Thanks!

This is probably possible. The easiest way is probably to use VLC or something similar. You have to initiate the streaming of a clip on the "server" though, as it seems. You should be able to control VLC from the command-line, as far as i know, but i've never tested this myself. Perhaps these links will be useful to you.
VLC can do streaming, and also transcoding on the fly:
