SABnzbd Completed downloads file permissions

I recently purchased a ReadyNAS Duo to replace my QNAP TS-201. I have just about managed to get the hang of how permissions work. The only major issue I currently have is with SABnzbd. The add-on itself seems to be working fine. The problem is with the completed download. These seem to be save as follows

drwxr-xr-x 2 admin admin 16384 Apr 21 21:35 SomeFile

I have setup SABnzbd to use a share that should be writeable to everyone so would like the completed downloads be fully accessible to all. Any help would be most appreciated.

  • I just tested this locally using SABnzbd 0.6.10. If you *don't* set the permissions to 777 the folder will be created in a way that causes the problems you described above. If you set the '777' permission *before* creating the folder it will be accessible by all users. However, if you forgot to set the '777' and change the permissions to '777' *after* the folder was created, SABnzbd will *not* change existing file/folder permissions.

    If you have SSH access to the ReadyNAS you can issue the following command to make your files/folders accessible again:

    chmod -R 777 /c/media/Downloads/*
