On the server: install nfs-server, put /path/to/the/webroot your.linux.box (rw) in /etc/exports and read the exports(5) manpage. On your Linux box: put your.web.server:/path/to/the/webroot /mount/point nosuid,nodev 0 0 in /etc/fstab. Note the uid's and gid's of are preserved when copying files, so you better have the same uid on both machines. root is mapped to nobody, so make your web server pages writeable by someone else than root. read the mount(8) manpage, especially the nfs options for more hints. Of course you will need the NFS filesystem in your linux box.
