I've looked around on the internet on how to protect my shares, and I don't know how. What I want to do, is if I go to my NAS on windows 8, click on a share called Test, it asks me to log in. In the log in, I want my username to be 'TestUser' and password '1234'. I also want, if I have another share named 'Test2', I can log in with the same account (Username: 'TestUser' Password: '1234'). Oh, I'm using a ReadyNAS Ultra 2 by the way.
Please help,

P.S: I don't know much, so please don't make it difficult to explain. Thank's.
Is "Users" set up as follows? From the Default access drop-down, select Read-only. This will prevent other users or anonymous users from editing or deleting items on the share. Enable the "Write-enabled users" checkbox and enter a user or group name in the associated textbox. Disable the "Allow guest access" checkbox to prevent anonymous users from logging into the share.
Also, how are the ownership/permissions set up on the "advanced options" tab for the share?
Hey, I was just messing around, and I got it working. The other computers in my network cant access the folder except for my computer. Though I have one more problem.
You get that folder because you have private home shares enabled on the NAS. Go into the user/user accounts screen, and select "preferences" from the pulldown on the upper right. You'll see a control to disable the private home shares (right under "default group for new users").
