Transmission 1.32 write protection download directory

Transmission 1.32 write protection download directory

I use transmission 1.32 on my mybook 1T. When I acces the mybook from windows I am unable to move the downloaded files because they are write protected. Any ideas on how to fix this?

If u have access to your device via ssh. Try to chmod -R 777 /shares/internal/path_to_torrents_folder. This should resolve your problem.

it's the executable attribute on the files. You do however need an executable attribute on the directories.
Take a look at on of my scripts for transmission.

Still having the same problem.
Now I have a script running that starts transmission when the mybook is turned on, but still all 'new' downloaded torrents are write protected when accessed as a network drive.

Anyone that can help me with this?

The owner of all 'new' directories is root/root, should this be www-data/www-data?

yep,
This should fix it for all files that are currently in your PUBLIC

chown -R www-data:www-data /shares/internal/PUBLIC
chmod -R o+rw /shares/internal/PUBLIC
chmod -R -x /shares/internal/PUBLIC
chmod -R +X /shares/internal/PUBLIC

Haven't you tried my script that moves the completed torrents?
It also takes care of this….

This help for the current dir's but then I have to run these commands every time I start a new torrent. The script is too eleborate and I don't want the files to be moved….
Before I had transmission and clutch running seperately (older versions) and then all worked fine…
Isn't there a way to run transmission so it makes the dir's www-data:www-data ?

The previous commands were wrong….
Sorry for that…
I will leave them until you read this post, but it's better to not post it..
I thought o meant owner, but it means 'others'

This is better:

chown -R www-data:www-data /shares/internal/PUBLIC
chmod -R ug-x+rwX /shares/internal/PUBLIC
