Does freeNAS support a unified space for FTP and SMB access? Use a user to access the space in the form of FTP or SMB instead of dividing into 2 spaces and 2 accounts; for example /mnt/NasPool/SharePool/share (FTP, SMB)

Currently:
FTP: ftpuser/password
/mnt/NasPool/SharePool/ftpshare

SMB: smbuser(AD Account)/password
/mnt/NasPool/SharePool/smbshare

FTP can provide access to the same datasets as SMB is configured to.

Permissions is where your life will become complicated... if you're using ACLs in the SMB space, those will not be processed by the FTP service, so access will rely on the UNIX permission entries.

Also note file locks... SMB allows for it, FTP isn't trying to handle that.

If you can find the happy balance there, it will work.
