Remote file access using AiCloud with built in Windows 7 WebDAV support.

I am trying to remotely access files on a USB drive attached to my Asus RT-AC68P router using Windows 7 WebDAV support. In other words I would like to use the following windows command to map a drive to a shared AiCloud folder:

net use * \\example.asuscomm.com@SSL:443\RT-AC68P\usb_drive_name /User:my_user_name my_password

Using this command from a remote computer I can successfully map the drive and see my files in windows explorer. When I try to write to a file I frequently get errors such as:

Error Ox80070021: The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file.

I think the issue is that the AiCloud feature is based on lighttpd mod_webdav which doesn’t fully support file locking.

I am wondering if my assessment seems correct? If so, is there any way to address this? I would think this would be an extremely convenient and popular way to remotely access files if it is possible to get it working.
