access NAS folder automatically with not stored credentials

[fedepr]

Hi all!
I have a question about FFS on Windows. I set up a NAS for the back up, and for safety reasons (eg ransomware could enter and lock the NAS) i do not want to store the credentials in windows. So FFS every time, correctly, prompts me for the credentials.
Is there a way to set up FFS to pass the credentials in some command line automated way, so i can launch the backup without everytime prompting me for the share credentials?
By the way, if i have an user with writing permission that i want to use with FFS for the backups and a user with read only permission that i want to use for normal use, is there a way to manage them (assuming windows cannot manage more users connected at the same time with the same share; only way is net use and delete?)
Thanks in advance

FFS doesn't offer this but you can look into cmd, "net use"

Heh.
Something along the lines of:

net use  \\NAS\backups  /user:fedepr 123456789


\\NAS\backups is what you want to log into
fedepr is user username you want to log in with
123456789 is your password to that share

You could run that from a batch file, that then calls FFS.

The syntax of this command is:

NET USE
[devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]]
        [/USER:[domainname\]username]
        [/USER:[dotted domain name\]username]
        [/USER:[username@dotted domain name]
        [/SMARTCARD]
        [/SAVECRED]
        [[/DELETE] | [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]]

NET USE {devicename | *} [password | *] /HOME

NET USE [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]

And then
"net use \\NAS\backups /delete"

hi, thanks for answering, that's more or less what i've figured out, but is there a way to insert the bat files into the FFS process in some way, so I don't have to launch bat files manually first and after?

You can run FFS from command line. Just put that command in the batch script
