Transmission Permission Denied
Hi guys, Hoping for some help. I recently added Transmission as magnet links are becoming standard so I had to upgrade from the old BitTorrent client. I'm having the same Permission Denied probl...
settings.json is a file which contains all the settings for Transmission. To reach it, log in on your nas with cifs using the same admin user/pass you use for Frontview. You will then see a list of shares.Go to:
c\addons-config\Transmission\transmission-daemon
The complete address will look like \\IPOfYourNAS\c\addons-config\Transmission\transmission-daemon.
In the folder you're in now, you will find a file names settings.json. You can open it with a text editor that supports Unix-file-encoding, a free text editor that can do this is Notepad++.
In the file, you will find a parameter with the name "incomplete-dir" which is, by default set to "/c/media/BitTorrent/Incomplete". Since you made a new share for your downloads, you might not have set the permissions right for the media share, so you should either do that, change the incomplete-dir or turn it off.
