The error-message is clear:
The FFS sync has no write-access to your NAS folder "\\freenas\user\desktop".
Windows (?) connects to your NAS using user credentials (user/password).
And at least that user need to have write acccess to the folders involved in the sync.
In a NAS, access (or denial thereof) can normally be defined per (top level) folder at user and/or group level.

This has nothing to do specifically with FFS.
By default (and if possible), Windows(?) establishes a network connection under the same user credentials as the (FFS) task is run, or otherwise identifies towards the network resource (i.c. your NAS) under explicitly specified user credentials, that may be stored and/or modified in the Credentials Manager.

If you can not access "\\freenas\user\desktop" and write files there form e.g. File Explorer, you probably have a rights issue on your NAS.
If you can write files there, you may be running FFS under different Windows user credentials (as not uncommon when launching FFS from the Task Scheduler). You then have to make sure that the user under which this other user connects with your NAS has the proper access rights on your NAS.
