Cannot Find Transmission Folders and downloaded files
Hello all, I have just finished setting up my ReadyNas 10400. I installed Transmission 2.82 (the one availalbe in the Netgear Apps Catalogue) and so far I have been able to download Torrents with...
Just call your share Transmission and create a folder in it called Downloads
Then in the Web UI show the path as /data/Transmission/Downloads
Apologies as I may have confused you re "/data/" as generally many share paths need that prefix
Ok.
In the meanwhile, i removed and resintalled Transmission and made a reset of the User Rights.
When I go in Shares, in the admin page of my Nas, I can see 2 shares:
- Home Folder (admin)
- Data (which is the one I created)
I have deleted all the standard ones as I didn't need them.
I checked the spanner and the folder showed there was:
/apps/nastools-transmission/downloads
At this point, i have created the following folder:
/Data/Transmission/apps/nastools-transmission/downloads
And I have pasted the above in the windows replacing:
/apps/nastools-transmission/downloads
I then started downloading a torrent to test it.
I now get the error Permission Denied in Transmission (i didn't have this error before)
When I browse the Nas from the admin Shares page, the path of the folder i have created is showed as:
\NasNetgear\Data\Data\Transmission\apps\nastools-transmission\downloads
Do I have to create and additional Share?

If you are using XRAID, then your volume is also named Data. The volume is also shared (though you do need to use admin credentials). Having two shares with the same name can cause problems.
I suggest renaming your Data share to something else. I'm not sure if that will solve your transmission problem, but there are definitely other problems that it will prevent.
