Expose Fileserver (SMB) over WEB / HTTP(S) Interface [closed]

I have a Windows Fileserver (SMB), for internal storage. I'm looking for a way to add a Web-interface to expose the fileserver over HTTPS.

The requirements are:

  • Accessible over HTTPS in a standard browser as a Web application.
  • The Web application shall be able to display and modify the content of a SMB-share.
  • Media playback (video and audio) would be great. But download and relying on the browser are ok.
  • Linux or Windows.
  • Open Source

If it is a bad idea to have this setup, please let me know. I can be okay with moving from the Windows file-server SMB platform to another Linux platform.


Solution 1:

NextCloud has WebDAV functionality / integration and can replicate data between off-site <-> on-premises in the way you want. This is no open source / free software, but you might want to give it a try.

P.S. I have nothing to do with this company, just in case :)

Pydio has Web UX for CIFS/SMB shares: https://pydio.com
