Hey whats up? I am not a complete newbee to arduino but i am not so sure about network drives. I want my esp8266 to get an excel file from a NAS system and redirect it to a web server to prepare it and the send it back to the NAS. I googled it and asked chatGPT about it, but it was not very helpful so far. I think its because i dont know how to ask correctly. So may someone could help me a bit to find the right way to ask or over come my problem. Thanks in advance!

Try to google "esp8266 + samba"
You need a SMB client for ESP8266.
I have seen such for ESP32, but not for ESP8266

Thanks for your answer already thought about it but my boss dont want to run a smb client on the Nas

On the NAS you need to run a SMB server, not the client

How do you suppose to read files from NAS without samba? What protocol?

I dont really know thats why i am asking, are there other possibilitys

I also read about ftp to be a possibility but til know i didnt find the difference

maybe your NAS allows FTP access..
FTP Client should be available for esp8266..

good luck.. ~q
