I have a WD drive attached to the AC66U and shared through the USB Application - Network Place (Samba) Share / Cloud Disk. Drive is accessible through on a variety of computers (through Win (10) Explorer) and phones on network and using whatever user names I have set up on the AC66U. I am able to add and delete files on this drive in such a manner.

However, when I try to set up a backup through EaseUS Todo or AOMEI Backupper, the login credentials are not accepted.

If I enable "Allow guest login" (i.e. no login info necessary), EaseUS and AOMEI can back up to the network fine. But when I turn guest login off and require credentials, I get a message like this (EaseUS): "The network is protected and cannot be accessed without specific permissions. You can enter the username and password, please try again" with username and password entry box. But the credentials I use to access my share from other places do not work.

In addition, if I use EaseUS to back up to a local folder and enable the "FTP copy" using my the AC66U's FTP Share (with the same credentials used above), they work fine. So it's just the network share credentials that aren't working through these backup programs.

Any ideas?
