This is very common. Don't use file acces permissions unless specifically required. Use network permissions. This is secure as users are already filtered by the network permissions then.
You might need to perform a reset of the file access permissions with the relevant button in the GUI

Hi Miraculix1,

Which Firmware are you on? Could you post an image of the permission setting/s of the said share (where FTP/s is being used)?

Kind regards,

  when I set the filepermissions to everyone and the network permissions to ftpuser and admin I have access to the share.
  
  If I set the filepermission to ftpuser and admin only there is no access.
  
  Is this secure and the right way?
