The Debian server needs to read the XLS file on the server connected to ActiveDirectory

Question

PHP

The Debian server needs to read the XLS file on the server connected to ActiveDirectory.

I have:
Server on Debian + NGINX + Apache2 + Node.js

It is necessary that it reads an XLS file every 10 minutes in a network folder in which read rights are distributed via ActiveDirectory.

On my computer, I can open this file in a network folder, but how can I make it a server?

Please help, I broke my head.

Answer 1

To get the file read towards smbclient.
To parse a file, you need to understand why. If for a php project, then we have a good experience using phpexcel.codeplex.com/

Answer 2

Write a script, using the found library for working with Excel documents, which pulls the file by cron and reads what is needed from it. Or save the same file also in csv / xml format and again use a self-written script

Answer 3

NGINX + Apache2 + Node.js is redundant.
You need, as described above, smbclient+cron+php+phpexcel.
