transmission on ubuntu 16.04 LTS write permission problem

Post by gamesman »

I get a problem with my Transmission 2.94 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TransmissionHowTo

I tried different dir on my disks and all give me same problem.
I tried reinstall and that didn't help.
I tried to edit sudo nano /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json with no help and working on user groups.
On this cmd is this correct?

sudo usermod -a -G debian-transmission myuser
Now I don’t know what to do.

problem indicator

Permission denied (/home/thomas/media/hdd2/ubuntu-16.04.4-server-amd64.iso)

When connected to SMB and download with utorrent on windows to Ubuntu path it is successful.

thomas@ubuntu:~$ command ls -ld /home/thomas/media/hdd2{,/ubuntu-16.04.4-server-amd64.iso}
ls: cannot access '/home/thomas/media/hdd2/ubuntu-16.04.4-server-amd64.iso': No such file or directory
