Mount ftpes directory to store downloaded files on unix

Post by marcoBros »

Hi guys,

I mounted a ftpes (FTP + TLS) directory on linux from another host with crulftpfs. I configured transmission to store downloaded torrents in the settings.json.
But im getting an error on transmission-web interface: Operation not supported.
The torrent file is created (0ko) but transmission doesn't seem able to write on it.

Is it possible to use a mounted directory using ftp protocol ?

Many thanks

I have this issue too trying to download to a mount that is sshfs'd to another pi.

I verify I can download locally, just not to a mount. I get file already exists, but it doesnt.

If anyone runs into this. I gave up with transmission-daemon and I used deluge instead with sshfs and it works great.
