Tranmission can't write files; 'Permission Denied'

Transmission cannot write any files to the disk, coming up with a 'permission denied' error. I know it's something to do with file permissions, but I'm struggling to work out where to start for a fix. Is this a common/known issue? Any ideas how to fix it?

Turns out there's an option to fix permissions in frontview, under shares. Now it seems to be crashing though, hurrah!

The default settings made by Transmission are a bit too much for the Duo v1. Another user has found settings that are working on his Duo, you could try those. You can find them here.

I know this is an old thread, but I had this problem and couldn't find a working solution anywhere, so I thought I'd post my answer for posterity.

The firmware on my NV+ V2 seems not to support the permissions tweaking suggested by other tutorials. Instead, I deleted the target folder (in my case, /c/Wardenclyffe/Downloads) and allowed Transmission to create it itself. Easy-peasy.
