Is it possible to access a SharePoint 2010 document library from a web application? If so then could you point me in the right direction?

I need to write an application that will allow document versioning, check in/check out, download/upload and searching.

So far I have written a basic Windows Forms application that can do all of the functions mentioned previously but now I need to access them from a web application.

From a Windows Forms application, you can use the managed client object model to access SharePoint document libraries, etc. See this link for more information:
