Transmission Error:Permission denied

Hi, I've got a problem with a Transmission (3.00.6 from poussin dropbox version) in my ReadyNAS 104 (6.1.8). After OS re-install and destroying my 2TB HDD (called in my twoTB_Seagate) I recreated it. Installed my application included Transmission above mentioned. I was trying to download Catzilla torrent-file from here: http://www.catzilla.com/download with Transmission: and I am getting error from transmission - Error: Permission denied. I was able to edit settings.json file with an online editor for it: http://www.jsoneditoronline.org/ and edit the place and directory of download and incomplete files. Right now I can't even copy files or setting.json file to my HDD from the NAS 104.
My second question is that I installed an application called: PHPsysinfo for ReadyNAS. I was able to read some information and my ext4:rootfs(rw, noatime, nodiratime, user_xattr, barrier=1, data=ordered) and ext4:/dev/md0(rw, noatime, nodiratime, user_xattr, barrier=1, data=ordered) is used up to 96%, how can i delete some files from it? Or free up space. Maybe from the first use the transmission tried to download files to that location.

I am noob from ssh, so maybe some kind of step by step help could be for me very helpful.

Thank you very much. :)

  • I have set the download location and incomplete location: /twoTB_Seagate/Transmission/Downloads. And my volume name is called twoTB_Seagate (because it is my biggest in the NAS 2TB Seagate) but right now for some reason I can't download to my PC the settings.json file. I was able to do it 2-3 days ago. But i remember my settings.
