Duplictate login with win 10 using file manager with rn-316

I have created a couple of home accounts for the different clients I have.

I was going to use them just for backups from desktops/laptops.

I can access and create them with ftp.

However I can't access them using one computer for all accounts.

I keep getting the error that it does not support multiple account logins.

How do I logoff with win10 in file manager so I can login to another home folder.?

    As you perhaps know, this is a windows restriction for SMB access, and not an issue in the NAS.

     

    One thing you can do is run CMD and enter net use * /delete

     

    One trick here is that Windows treats the hostname and the IP address as different machines, so if you access by IP address you can use a different credential without disrupting an existing connection that uses hostname.

      When you say cmd!

      Do you mean run command.com from the desktop?

        I ran it from the command line in the desktop.

        It states no users in the list.

        The name of the nas is readynas

        The home folder is HOMEBOY3

        I have tried selecting the icon in file manager and I have tried typing it as \\readynas\HOMEBOY3

        I get a prompt to login which I do, But I still get not accessible.,Multiple connections not allowed.
