Help with FreeNas

[Wink]

Hi guys. I need help configuring my freenas.

 

I am unable to write to my Freenas drive. I can view it in Windows explorer, but it said i do not have permission to write to the folder.

 

I created a group, created a user, changed the zfs share owner to my user. but I do know not know how to make the server understand that i am that created user as i have no place to key in my username and password before accessing the file. i have just typed in the ip address and i see the folder but cannot affect it in anyway.

 

At this point i am open to reinstalling the OS for my repurposed machine. Maybe even a copy of windows will be okay, i basically need an always on file repository in raid 1 that supports quick easy file sharing and can do backups . i have an office that has approximately 10 laptops that need access to that file repository. 

 

i used to have a WD 3.5" external hdd as my file repository, but i need a raid 1 setup for backup against data loss which occurred recently, prompting my move to a nas server. 

 

any help with freenas would be great if not my option will be to go back to windows
