Cannot copy files to Transmission "Downloads" directory
I'm running the Transmission 3.0.0.8 with ReadyNAS OS 6.4.1. When I try to copy files to the Downloads directory I get a permission denied error. Is this "by design" or is something wrong here? 'ls' ...
(For anyone finding this later), since you cannot add files to the default Transmission and Incomplete folders:
1. Create a new folder in the Transmission network share named "Seed" and copy your file(s) there.
2. Get the .torrent file for the torrent (right click the entry in your Transmission list and "Save Torrent File As" if in another Transmission instance).
3. Open the torrent file in Transmission via the web interface or Transmission Remote GUI.
4. Specify your path for Destination folder, like /data/Transmission/Seed
5. Click ok, and Transmission will verify the data.
6. After data verification is complete, do "Force start" on the torrent.
Yes to both. I also removed Transmission, removed the share, then reinstalled the app.
Hi ReadyJustin,
I think this is the default behavior by design. When I tried to copy files on the root of the transmission share or folder, I have R/W access. but read only to the subfolders (downloads, incomplete and config).
