Good Afternoon Martin: As you might imagine, we are not going to give you NFS access to our filesystems.
For bigWig files that are remote on a URL, you do not need to copy the files. Use the bigWig* access utilities to fetch data from those files via the URL. For the native wiggle tracks composed of a MySQL table which indexes into the .wib binary file, you can use these locally by fetching just the .wib binary file, and then use either your local MySQL mirror, or the public MySQL server to fetch data out of those .wib files with the hgWiggle command.
