I mean that the NAS likely PUBLISHES a fileshare.
On the PI, you should mount that fileshare
That will make the python program to think
it writes on a local drive, when in fact you write on the NAS - without ftp.

so if your python program writes to
 /mnt/share/file.jpg
the file ends up on the NAS, given the example above

you can mount it in /etc/fstab if you want,
or mount by hand as described above
