Transmission

No one no what could be happening here?

Okay, I changed all the permissions of the folder tree from the root up to the torrent folder, and now the syslog gives me Found new .torrent file "myLegal.torrent" in watchdir "/home/john/Dropbox/torrents (watch.c:92) , but it doesn't appear in the web interface, and the torrent file doesn't get ...

I still get:
Despite returning

It appears to be a permissions issue

Unable to watch "/home/john/Dropbox/torrents": Permission denied (watch.c:79)

I have tried stopping the daemon -> sudo service transmission-daemon stop -> changing permissions of folder using chown -> sudo chown -R john /home/john/Dropbox/torrents ...

Where is the log?

Trying to get my transmission-daemon to pick up files from a dropbox folder, to make remote starting easier (it's a headless system).

As far as I can tell, the settings.json file is as expected, but none of the files I place in the folder get picked up.

I have checked that dropbox is syncing ...
