How Do I Enter A NAS Network Drive Username and Password

I unfortunately have a Buffalo NAS network backup drive which will not allow anything to be saved to it without the network password username. I'm able to sync if I manually do it, but if I try to batch file it (to automatically save and sync files) it gives me an error message to that effect. Anyone know where I can enter it? I've been on Taskscheduler and on FreeFileSync all over the place and there is not one bit of information or setting to do this. Thank you.

If the Buffalo NAS uses some sort of web-page based authentication, you are likely out of luck, unless you enter into some serious scripting.
If the Buffalo uses the standard SMB/CIFS authentication, and you are running FFS on a Windows machine, you should be able to manage and store the user/password combination to connect to the NAS via the Windows Credential Manager.
