Access is a file based database, and so it requires a windows network file connection to work from the internet which is clearly unadvised.

You have the following options :
1) Create a web service for data access.
2) Create your reports on the server and publish them.
3) Create a Web based report application to your access database.

*) Create a VPN connection to your server and go with what you know.
