How to change download location on Transmission?
I have a ReadyNAS ultra 2 with 2 different hard drives running as separate volumes (c and d)
I have the 2.31 x86 running on volume C. The default download directory is /c/media/BitTorrent. I tried downloading a torrent file and used Transmission GUI to change the directory to /d/Movies/TV where d= volume, Movies = share, TV = folder however, the completed file went to /c/BitTorrent/Incomplete folder.
How can I save to the other hard drive? I thought it was as simple as /X/Y/Z where x= drive, y=share folder, z=subfolder

- First you need install root-ssh addon to login unit with default password to edit
/addons-config/Transmission/transmission-daemon/settings.json file
in this file you can customize directory of complete and incomplete download folder.
Before you edit this file please disable transmisson service. - I would like to use Transmission GUI to be able to change the download folder as often as i would like. I was able to do it but forgot how and now I can't seem to retrace my steps as I've installed a new drive and new transmission
- use the Transmission GUI and login to server (your NAS's IP) port:8181 User: admin Password: Password1 (or is it password1)
That said I still have problem to getting mine to save torrents to /Drive/Share/Folder/Sub-Folder/
So if you find away to do that it would nice if tell how :-) - I remember changing the share folders to having owner as nobody. I couldn't do it at the moment as I am in the process of rebuilding my data. Currently having problems with my drives.
- I have the same problem...
I have a ReadyNas Ultra 4 and a share called "TorrentFiles" with a "Finished" subfolder
I have tried to use the GUI and entered /C/TorrenFiles/Finished, \\READYNAS\TorrentFiles\Finished and /TorrenFiles/Finished, and nothing works. Also tried to modify the settings.json file (with Transmission disabled) but stilln no luck...
I'm new to the world of NAS, so just to make sure how it is supposed to be, what is the correct syntax used when describing shares/folders on a ReadyNas Ultra drive?
