Can't open the download folder

Hey.

I have installed the Feature pack then Transmission.
I can use the software and download files, thats great.

Just a 'little' problem : it seems Transmission created a folder names 'WWW' to put those files. When i connect to the NAS with AFP i see all folder and can open but this folder. I don't have the right permissions.

I'm a real linux newbie. I'm just starting with SSH. I'm tryin to understand :
— what user should be using Transmission ?
— How can i know what user is using it right now ?
— How (and why) i should fixe the user using transmission ? How can i create a new user ?
— Should i just let Transmission user the current user account and change the account i'm using to connect to the NAS (= Admin)
— How/Why should i change the permissions/user for the WWW folder

I tried google and so on but i think i'm too much a newbie to be able to use all those informations yet.

WHat i see :

/shares/Public # ls -l 
-rw-rw-r--    1 guest    jewab        6148 Jul  3 20:55 :2eDS_Store

Oh and i tried this :

# chown www-data:www-data <DL-dir> -R
# chmod 755 <DL-dir> -R

but i get this :

chown: unknown group name: www-data

For info i'm connecting thru AFP, i'm on a Mac.

i tried this :

chmod 75 /shares/Public/WWW -R

Don't why it worked this once and not before but anyway i can open the folder now !

Why do i have the previous eror message about group www-data ?

for( fight = 0 ; rights < freedom ; rights++ )
fight = standup( rights );
free( babylon ); }

Well the reason you cant chown it to that is cause there is no such group.

If transmission is running then when you shell into the WD type

ps -Al | grep transmission

and post the output
