USB Sharing not working on AX1800 Archer AX20

Hello,
Firmware Version:
1.3.1 Build 20210521 rel.72481(5553)
Hardware Version:
Archer AX20 v1.20
I am trying to share my USB drive. Though it is getting recognised in the USB Sharing menu, and I am enabling both Samba and local FTP share, I am not able to access it via the local FTP link ftp://192.168.1.1:21
I have also enable secure share and media share in the same page.
Below are the logs
2021-08-20 15:50:38 Led Controller ERROR [1091] Config importing failed

Attaching some screenshots
If you disable Secure Sharing, are you able to access the ftp://192.168.1.1 (since port 21 is the default FTP port, it can be omitted) ?
If yes then that's the problem. See these notes from your device user guide:
Note:
1.For Windows users, do not set the sharing username the same as the Windows username. Otherwise, Windows credential mechanism may cause the following problems:
•If the sharing password is also the same as the Windows password, authentication will not work since the Windows will automatically use its account information for USB access.
•If the sharing password is different from the Windows password, the Windows will be unable to remember your credentials and you will always be required to enter the sharing password for USB access.
2.Due to Windows credential mechanism, you might be unable to access the USB disk after changing Authentication settings. Please log out from the Windows and try to access again. Or you can change the address of the USB disk by referring to To Customize the Address of the USB Storage Device.
