Transsmision 3.00.8 - permission denied
Hi.
I have readynas 316. I've installed poussin's Transmision 3.00.8. But im unable to download anything. Because transmission do not have permissions to folder. I've tried to change users, create new ones, but it didn't help.
Could somebody please help, what I have to do to use transmission to download files ?
regards

Many of Poussin's older apps have a problem because of a change to the defaults in Samba. At some point, insecure wide links became blocked in Samba by default, and that got into a ReadyNASOS update when Samba was updated. It is there as a security measure, to prevent inadvertent opening of a back door. In some apps, Poussin uses wide links (symlinks outside of a share path) to make it possible for files associated with the add-on to be accessed without going into SSH to access a folder in /apps. When the default location can be changed, as in your case, that's usually the best way to do it. But if the location is hard-coded, as is often the case for configuration files, then you can create /etc/frontview/samba/addons/addon.conf with the following entries (shown here with ddclient as the app, and also the share name, that needs it).
[global] allow insecure wide links = yes unix extensions = no [ddclient] follow symlinks = yes wide links = yes
I believe that this poiint that unix extensions = no is the default, but I added it in case that ever changes, since allowing insecure wide links and unix extensions are mutually exclusive. /etc/frontview/samba/addons/addon.conf is the best place for it, as it is not overwritten by OS updates. It's also not over-written by an OS re-install, so don't mess it up to a point that would be needed.
