Transmission Plugin (Plz Help!!)

[TheBen12345]

So I'm quite new to Freenas and I install the plugin Transmission. Everything was working fine and I downloaded my movie and watched it using plex. But when I wanted to delete it or move the movie into a folder it wouldn't let me. It said I didn't have permission to. If made sure I have set the folder to allow guest access but still not working.

Please Help Me!!!!
Thanks Ben

by default transmission writes files with 755 permissions which means they can be read by everyone, but only written (deleted) by the owner.
you change this in the transmission settings in the left panel of the freenas webui

I went to storage and found the folder that I have been having problems with. You need to give me more details. What I tried didn't work. "You need permission to perform this action. You require permission from Unix User\921 to makes changes to this folder."

I'm assuming your issue is when using a sharing method like CIFS? this isn't an issue with plugins accessing files, but a permission issue with sharing.

one possible solution is having transmission write files everyone can delete.
freenas webui > left panel > plugins > transmission > permissions = 777

Still doesn't work. Thanks for your help by the way. I set the downloaded permissions to 777 but still nothing.

can you show what permissions the files
'ls -l /path/to/files'

It won't work until he changes permissions on the already existing files..
You need to do:

Code:

chmod -R 777 /path/to/flies/

from the shell.
Remember to replace '/path/to/flies/' with the actual path to the files..

I write this in Shell:
" chmod -R 777 /mnt/MainDrive/YourMedia/Torrents " (Torrents folder is where I keep my downloaded torrents)
By the way Im a noob.

This what is said in shell when I press enter:
"chmod: /mnt/MainDrive/YourMedia/Torrents: Operation not permitted"

And for the storage permissions I have all the boxes ticked.

I think this means you enabled windows permissions.

Sweet it worked. Thanks. Still cant delete the folders but I can delete the stuff inside.
Also how do I make it so I have owner rights?

When you mean "you have owner rights" you mean CIFS? I'm not really sure, I'm guessing there's some sort of mapping between CIFS user and UNIX user but I try to avoid CIFS... maybe you can get help in the sharing section of the forum?

Thanks for your help!
