is there a step-by-step guide for dummies for installing transmission under 8.2

[DragonsDream]

I have it installed (sort of*) bu am getting permission errors. All the threads I've found here involve FreeNAS version 8.0.2. There seem to be changes that affect how Transmission gets installed yes? Also, I have no need for permissions or user accounts. I want anyone on my home network to be able to access my Volume1 dataset since aside from torrenting this is being used exclusively as video storage for streaming to the TV

*I say sort of because while it is installed in the jail, I was hoping to be able to download to my already created Video folder directly under Volume1 and have as my watch folder "Torrents" also directly under my Volume1, but I've read stuff about creating mount points and have no idea how that works.

Thanks for any help with this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4zIZX8pOas has the jail setup and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp_pW-8Laro covers the configuration (along with other plugins).

I would recommend getting familiar with the BSD documentation.

i watched the videos and am still a bit lost as I don't have user accounts or permissions. It's my server. I want all other computers on my network to have access *without* having to set each one individually. So how can I just skipp all stuff with users and permissions?

Here are the docs for plugins, including mountpoints (which are also covered in the videos) http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/Plugins

Here are docs for CIFS and CIFS shares: http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/CIFS http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/Windows_(CIFS)_Shares which are what is used in the video, including information on how to disable authentication. You will need to use the instructions for anonymous access on the "Windows (CIFS) Shares" page.
