I have a number of video and audio files that I want placed on my site. My web
designer know how to generate swf and flv files but doesn't know any scripting
or coding.

I came across FMS which seems to be the answer to everything so I downloaded
and installed it on a Windows server. I've been trying for 3 days to get it to
work.

All documentation deals with scripting on server or client.

Is there a beginner's guide? As I said: I want to put the flv file in a folder
and stream it to web clients. I don't want a live stream, interactive stuff,
webcam or such. Just stream a simple file.

Any help would be appreciated.
