You need to learn how to SAMBA!

didn't found good and easy documentation yet for samba settings
also is this a correct location of the fax folder /var/spool/hylafax/recvq ?

/var/www/html/avantfax/faxes for the PDF documents, I think. And they're grouped by sent/recvd then year, month, day, and phone number.

Read http://bestof.nerdvittles.com/tutorials/samba/ and follow the setup steps for a secure SAMBA implementation. Create a faxuser in both Linux AND Samba.

Then you'll need to add a section to the bottom of /etc/samba/smb.conf following the [piaf] example for the syntax.

[fax]
path = /var/www/html/avantfax/faxes/
guest ok = no
writable = yes
create mask = 0444
valid users = faxuser

Then restart SAMBA.
