Hoping you can help me here, please.
I am experiencing problems on some Windows machines when it comes to writing a new file to the NAS.
The NAS is set up on a private internal network a...
Ok. Note that OS 4.1 only supports SMB 1.0, which is being deprecated by Microsoft. So if you have Win10 systems you will either need to manually install the SMB 1.0 client or use NFS.
It sounds like you are already using "user" security mode, and not the older "share" security mode. The share security mode was deprecated quite a while ago, and if you are using it then you should certainly switch to "user". Let us know if that's your situation, we can provide some help on how to switch.
Assuming "user" security mode: If your issues are specific to writing files, then I suggest you begin by resetting the file permissions and owners for the shares. You do this on the share's "advanced options" page in the web ui. First select the "CIFS" button, and then you will see the "advanced options" tab on the far right.
Set the folder owner/group, and the owner/group/everyone rights. "nobody" is ok for the owner, and "nogroup" is ok for the group. I suggest "read/write" for all the rights - these are file permissions, so you can still control access to the share using the network permissions if you like.
Then check both the "Set ownership and permission" box and the "Grant rename and delete" box, and click "apply". The "set ownership and permission" box will immediately clear - that is normal. The operations complete in the background - there will be a notification pop-up when it completes (and it will also be on the log page).
A little bit vague.
What for you have NFS enabled?
What for you have FTP/S enabled?
You had configured users before, created groups of users with similar access rights, and granted the acess to the shared folders on a group base?
Has it worked before?

Ref. SMB access, Windows does for for a while and on never versions no longer lalow using a non-authennticated access, so the "Anonymous" access can't be used, as Windows does not allow accessing shared folders.
PS. Somehow this post ended in the wrong community area, he REadyNAS does start about here -> ReadyNAS Network Storage e.g. either consider "Using your ReadyNAS" or "New to ReadyNAS". Let's see if we can make a moderator moving this thread Christian_R please.
For NFS I have default access listed and that is all and for FTP/S, I have exactly the same listed.
