File permission

Post by seanyd »

Hi guys, when transmission downloads a file I can read it but it cant be moved. To fix this I use winscp to change the permissions to 666 which fixes the issue and I can move the file. Is their anyway top fix it so I dont have to do this on every download? Thanks

Transmission: 2.50
Dlink DNS 320

stop transmission, then edit settings.json and change to:

"umask": 0,

which should give universal read/write access (file permissions 666). more info here:
