Copying from ReadyNAS to USB

SAMBA does support all the various features allowing different methods for supporting Server-Side Copy To my knowledge, everything is configured and enabled on recent ReadyNAS systems.
One point is not clear: Windows 10 does - unless it was hevaily modded form the default - not allow different access to the same storage/server using different credentials resp. authenticated and nonauthenticated access. If using the comon trick to access the NAS once by using the hostname, like \\radynas\share and by IP like \\192.168.123.45\USB , Windows 10 does take this as two different devices and won't request any server side function - the data _will_ transfer over the network twice.
The correct approach would be granting group or user based access to the USB storage, and access both the internal storge share and the USB share using the same name and security environment.
But also when using the Web based UI to access the share: The copy process will be local, and it must succeed.
Thanks schumaku . Yes, I had assumed it would work with the NAS web-based UI, else why allow the "copy" and "paste" options within the UI in the first place? Very strange!
JFYI: I had enabled anonymous access on the USB based on other discussions I had read, but it doesn't appear to have made any difference.
Any further suggetions?
Ahhhh this was added on top of the standard access rights - OK.
Not much to add - you might try to run a file system check on the USB device, e.g. for NTFS on a Windows system. While the non-Linux-native driver are very robust when it comes to most access right issues (bypassing almost everything known on NTFS) they can struggle if the file system isn't healthy.
I agree with schumaku, checking the USB drive is best to make sure that the cause of the issue is not the USB itself.
Have you tried using another USB to check if it has the same issue?
Note you can do a direct copy on the NAS to the USB device using a backup job. And of course it is easily done with ssh.
