Noted... I just posted for anyone else that might like it. I figured if I could get it working the easy way I can slowly add more secure user permissions later. I'm don't really know what "serious problems" you're referring to though.</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">Uh... anyone that can access your files from guest will have said permissions! That means that if I brought my laptop over to your house I could conceivably delete your files since I don't need to authenticate. No joke, there are viruses and stuff out there that actually *look* for that kind of stuff just to delete it.</div>

I use "Hosts Allow" to only allow my Phone / Computer on the network to access my share. But I'm guessing that isn't that secure.... I need a month probably of peace of mind before I start adding passwords. I know it shouldn't be too hard though. I had it somewhat running before.</div>

@Lusca, here's what you do. you have to chown -R 921:921 torrentfolder/path<br />
<br />
This is the transmission user. Now what I did is I made another group in freenas, and I called it transmission, and I made the gid 921. Then I went to my media user, and in "other groups" at the bottom, I added transmission by clicking >> on it. Then transmission could write to the folder, and the media user could read/write the transmission folder also.<br />
<br />
edit: So you can do this whole thing without adding a user, just a group.</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">I had no issues setting up my couch potato & transmission jails, however, I cant seem to do two things:<br />
<br />
* stop transmission from seeding entirely and immediately complete the work after download is finished (send information to couchpotato to use renamer to download subtitles and move the content)<br />
* instruct couchpotato/transmission to download maximum X movies at once and queue any others, and then process the queue once a download is finished - it seemed like it was working first, but after some time all torrents with status of 'queued' started downloading at once, increasing the download time for individual torrents<br />
<br />
Any clues?</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">i would appreciate if someone could make an addendum to this that is slightly more secure. <br />
<br />
i am about to set this up soon and would love to do it right the first time. thanks in advance!!!</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">JKman: The reason why there isn't really a guide for permissions is that it's something that the server owner has to manage appropriately. As such, some cookbook guide is never going to be anything remotely close to "best case". Best case is to learn about permissions and apply them yourself.<br />
<br />
That's why there's about 1000 unanswered threads in this forum all titled "need help with permissions". You just can't learn it from a forum post or two, and those of us with experience don't want to dedicate a significant part of our lives to teaching others how to do it. ;)</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">Hello,<br />
<br />
After several weeks of use, i still have one problem with Sick Beard post processing, i always have to set permissions manually in the download folder in order to have the files moved when processed. I don't see where the permissions are set when something is downloaded. I don't have this problem with Couch Potato.<br />
<br />
Thanks.</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">Thank you Supa for the guide. I have a NFS share but your guide was very helpful in setting it up. I put all four and sabnzbd in one jail. I used your instructions and modified a little to get sickbeard torrent version running; as that version doesn't exist on git, or I do not know how to get it.<br />
<br />
I entered following commands in that order in the jail shell<br />

<br />
Btw i found out what was my problem with permissions always returning error 13 when post-processing. I noticed it was working fine with newly added show but i was getting error 13 in every old show i already had in my pool and just scanned when i first used sick beard.<br />
<br />
I simply had to delete each show from sick beard and re add them as if they were not in my pool, Sick beard would notice me the folder already exist and simply use it for future destination when post processing. And no error 13 this time.<br />
<br />
Voilà.<br />
<br />
merci beaucoup.<br />
