Transmission/torrents share permissions problems

[radioz]

Ok, so it looks like your username is a member of the transmission group.

What happens if you try to use transmission? Post any errors you see.

Another thing you can try if you are still having problems is to create a new user. Add that user to the transmission group and see if that works.

iam just about to give up ....... you would think you should be able to delete files or folders by default in a paid app

Have you checked folder permissions? Make sure they are set correctly. I would say probably 777 and owned by your user.

looking in to this now

ok i found this
Changing the file permissions of downloaded files

By default, transmission sets the file permissions of downloaded files so that only the transmission user can wrie to the downloaded files and folders. To change this, modify the settings as follows:

1. Stop the transmission server from the Amahi Control Panel. Be sure to disable the watchdog timer as well.

2. vim /var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json

3. Find the line: "umask": 18, and change it to "umask": 2. This will enable all users in the transmission group to also write to the file.

4. Restart transmission from the Amahi Control Panel (Settings/Servers/Transmission Server/Restart) for the changes to take effect. Remember to check the watchdog timer as well.

i can open it like in step 2 and do step 3 but it says read only so cant save changers

Try:

2. sudo vim /var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json
