Transmission - No data found! use "Set Location" error

@JarnoG: You are right, its not possible to change owner or group from windows, except on the entire share.

As I need to have bittorent client running, did I set out to fix the permission issue myself and I found a solution! However it does require you to SSH onto your ReadyNAS, give yourself root access, edit a few files and then apply your media share owner/group rights to all affected folders and files.

The following steps assume you can SSH and have root access.

1. Stop Transmission from frontview


2. SSH onto your ReadyNAS, and give yourself root access


3. Navigate to

   /etc/frontview/addons/bin/TRANSMISSION



4. Open start.sh with an editor, like vi. Replace

   --chuid nobody:nogroup

   and

   chown nobody:group

   with your own share rights. Mine were `media:users`. Save and exit


5. I also changed `owner:group` rights for

   /c/addon-config/

   but I believe now it was not needed


6. Now you just need to change `owner:group` rights for your download folder - default is `/media/BitTorrent/` - which you can do with frontview or a single command.

   chown -R owner:group /media/BitTorrent



7. Start Transmission from frontview


8. If you had any old torrents running that were showing the "Set Location", then you do need to remove those and add them again


9. Thats it.


So far, I have had ZERO problems since doing this.
