I use FFS to sync Qnap NAS and local PCs.
My NAS is secured so that, if an unknown user tries to access it through any protocol (including Samba), the IP of the user PC is banned.
I noticed that, with 11.8 version, at the end of sync activity the IP of my device was always banned.
After some investigations in the access log file of the NAS, I discovered that, in the last sync operations, FFS tries to access the NAS by using the PC name, as it were the user name (it seems a mistake of variable used in the code). Of course the NAS does not recognise the PC name as user and bans the IP.
By downgrading to 11.6 the problem disappeared.
Can developers look at this?
I stay at disposal for clarification.

Do you have more details? I don't know what you mean by "FFS tries to access the NAS by using the PC name".

Thank you for replying.
Meanwhile I also tested version 11.9 and the problem is still present.
I attach here below an extract of the event Log of the NAS.
You can see that, during FFS operations, the NAS receives Login attempts on SAMBA (that is strange in anycase, why should the device log-in into the NAS server?), where the attempt is not done with "Myuser" (the user connected to the network) but with "PC_NAME$", the name of the device connected. This happens both with local LAN connection as well as with VPN connection.
Using the version 11.6 these attempts do not exist and everything works...

Can you create a Process Monitor pml file when using FFS 11.9? This might give a clue what FFS is doing when these "PC_NAME$" log entries are generated. Please also provide a matching Samba log file for comparison.
