Hello there,
Not sure if what I am trying to do is possible / sensible, but will attempt to explain for forum comment and direction.
Running 9.1
I have a plugin jail (/mnt/NAS/jails_2): bit_1
Storage source: /mnt/NAS/media/_torrent
Storage destin: /usr/pbi/transmission-amd64/etc/transmission/home/Downloads
Transmission is configured using download directory: /usr/pbi/transmission-amd64/etc/transmission/home/Downloads
All is working, however I wish to restrict 'general' user access to files in /media/_torrents (I move files from this directory to /media and intend to allow general user access to this directory only.
ls -l _torrent:
drwxrwxrwx 33 40002 40002 40 Sep 16 20:06 _torrent
Was going to change owner of the _torrent directory but once I realised it is presently a jail user (40002) am thinking this will break the whole thing and stop transmission from working.
As I see it, while maintaining transmissions ability to rwx to this directory I need to somehow change owner and or group to restrict general user access (from outside the jail) with the exception of one user (me) who will have access to both.
Outside the jail there are a number of users, each with own user name and associated group. media is also a user, of which all other users are group members.
Very much beyond my abilities to rationalise. Any help appreciated.
