How to create a website that searches for files on a network drive?

Hello. In our organization, the task was to create a website with a convenient search for documentation on the internal network storage. Tell me how to implement the idea?
I describe in more detail :

  1. There is a network drive that is accessible by an IP address like 192.168.xx.x.
  2. In one of the subfolders of this disk there are 30-40 gigs of files and folders with design documentation.
  3. The search is supposed to be carried out by the names of these files and folders. To be able to easily access from mobile devices
  4. They also ask for a file preview function.

What actions need to be taken to implement the idea?

My actions :
First of all, I decided that I needed to organize FTP access to the necessary folders.
  • ftp://192.168.xx.x/ - this way you can connect to a network drive, but it is seen as a source for backups.
  • ftp://192.168.xx.x/Desired_folder/ - unable to connect to folder, error.

I talked to the network administrator, he said that you need to deploy an HTTP and / or FTP server and publish the necessary folders. He suggested deploying an IIS server, but it would need to host a mechanism that would access local folders. PHP page type that generates relative paths from local paths.
Total :
What is the best way to implement the idea? Can this be done in Wordpress? Are there ready made solutions?

I think you should turn to specialists. My friend also tried to create his own website, but nothing worked. They helped him here https://friendly.com.ua/ did everything professionally!
