Trouble setting up FTP on ReadyNAS 102 with Linksys router EA6900

That’s how I’ve got it set up, except for the read/write privelages. I’m letting them download but not upload.

I found out why the system kept crashing when I would try to backup that folder. Some of the files in that folder are rather large and seem to give the system trouble. I can’t get the system to let me delete those large files from the nas. Everytime I try it freezes. Freeze might not be the right term, I can work on the system just not in the folders. The backups stop working and it doesn’t show what apps I have running. I can tell the system to reboot or shutdown, that’s about it. I do have the antivirus running and have the system setup for a traditional raid format. The nas has two 6TB wd red hardrives in it.

I’m wondering if I would be better off getting a large external harddrive and plugging it into the router to use like my nas, then set up the ftp with privaleges for my relatives using the external harddrive. I can then use the harddrives from the nas in my pc to backup the information I want copies of and get rid of the nas. I have had a little trouble with it on occasion acting squirrelly, just never like this. The only downfall is if the pc is destroyed I lose those harddrives, but get to keep the external that is connected to the router.
