" Permission denied" and "Host is down"?

Spec:
ReadyNAS Ultra 2
2 laptops (One connected via cable, one via WiFi)

Hi!

Have a total of 12 jobs that is divided among 2 computers (6 per computer).
One is connected via WLAN (VGN-CR31S) and one is connected via cable (VGN-AR51J).

First added the whole user folder for each computer (i.e. Computer 1 "C:/Users/TheSwede86/" etc.) and that failed due to I guess it tried to copy the hidden folder that I guess contains files that are constantly written to by the Windows OS.
Then I added the folders in my user folder manually i.e. "Documents", "Pictures", "Videos", "Desktop" ,"Music" and "Downloads".

I tested all the remote paths in Frontview ("Test") and they work fine, I changed ownership when sharing the folders so the default admin user ("TheSwede86") has full rights.

These are the errors I get:

1)
//VGN-AR51J/VGN-AR51J - Documents
[backup]//VGN-AR51J/Documents
cp: cannot access `/job_011//Min musik': Permission denied
cp: cannot access `/job_011//Mina bilder': Permission denied
cp: cannot access `/job_011//Mina videoklipp': Permission denied

Reason for failure:
Error encountered copying data from remote source path //VGN-AR51J/VGN-AR51J - Documents ==> /backup//VGN-AR51J/Documents due to permission denial on one or more files.

When I browse that folder locally with the option to show hidden files I do not see these folders at all? The folders above are in swedish which means My music, My pictures and My videos.

2)
//VGN-CR31S/VGN-CR31S - Documents
/backup//VGN-CR31S/Documents
(After a while I get the message) Host is down

I go down to the computer and the WiFi-USB seems to have disconnected from our WLAN?
Might this be due to high stress and faulty components?
It might be around 3-4y old.

    Your ReadyNAS version is what?
    Have you given that user access to read/write authority over file sharing in Windows ?

    Sorry about that, my ReadyNAS version is RNDU2000 running 1x WD 2TB RED with RAIDiator 4.2.21.
    As I said in my earlier post when I shared the folders in Windows I gave "Full access" (loose translation but the meaning should get through) to the user.
    I have done exactly the same on all my folders on both computers and all folders except the Documents folder on both of my computers works fine.
