Can't delete transmission files

[TediouslyUseless]

I have my NAS NFS share mounted by my desktop, and the transmission web plugin downloads to NAS/torrents. I want a file out of /torrents and somewhere else, but the option to delete or cut things is greyed out by my file manager and I can't change any of the folder permissions. How do I fix this?

I don't think I understand how users work at all and every tutorial is just copy pasting commands that don't fit my situation.

You will have to chown the files you want to delete or create a group in FreeNAS with the same GID number to it and add your user to the group and chmod them to a 77X so that the group can modify them. To view what the permissions are currently set to in a directory you can try

Code:

ls -l

You will then get something like:

Code:

-rw-------  1 root  wheel	3884 Nov 14 13:11 .bash_history
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel	1128 Oct 21 18:00 .bashrc
-rw-r--r--  2 root  wheel	 887 Oct 21 18:00 .cshrc
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel	  97 Oct 21 18:00 .gdbinit
-rw-------  1 root  wheel   18949 Nov 17 00:22 .history
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel	  80 Oct 21 18:00 .k5login
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel	  82 Oct 21 18:00 .login
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel	 559 Oct 21 18:00 .profile
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel	1128 Oct 21 18:00 .shrc
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel	   2 May 12  2015 .ssh
-rw-------  1 root  wheel  430080 Sep 20  2016 secrets.tdb

BTW to change the permissions you will need to be using either the console or SSH and if you do not understand what you are doing you can potentially mess up a lot of things. So make sure you REALLY REALLLLY want to make the change before you press enter. A few people have come through when they have modified permissions on things and when you use the -R on the wrong directory you can mess a lot of things up.

To add to that, if you want Transmission to automatically set the downloaded files to be readable & writeable by everyone, you can change the umask settings in Transmission to 0.

So how do I edit the configuration file?
