Hey all,
I built an AppleScript app that automatically puts the files into a share that you have created. I used it as I needed to create the files for multiple staff members.
Firstly, you need to create all the users in ReadyNAS FrontView.
Then, open this app and simply enter the username. Once it closes, open it again and move onto the next user.

Make sure you change <adminPassword> and <readynasIP> to the correct values.
Hope this is useful to some of you.
