I just yesterday built a headless Raspberry Pi running raspbian (made my own user kenwood and deleted the user pi), installed and configured transmission-daemon, and had great success with it using the web interface. Hooray.
Today I am using my Linux Mint machine to connect to it using Nemo and sftp, so far so good - I can remotely browse to and copy files from the download folder to my Mint machine, more Hooray.. However, I can't remotely delete the downloaded files, not so cool.
Instead, I had to use terminal to ssh into the Pi,and using rm at the command line under sudo, delete the files and folders. Got the job done but a little bit of a faff.
Attempted Resolution:
I had a go at recursively changing the permissions of the downloads folder and contents using chmod to 777 so that I can have full access form my remote machine. (I know people get grouchy over 777, but in this instance as connecting to the Pi is password protected, I hope it doesn't matter).
Code: Select all
kenwood@raspberrypi:/var/lib/transmission-daemon $ sudo chmod -R 777 downloads/
Code: Select all
kenwood@raspberrypi:/var/lib/transmission-daemon $ ls -l
total 4
drwsrwxrwx 4 debian-transmission debian-transmission 4096 Aug 1 21:10 downloads
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Dec 31 2018 info -> .config/transmission-daemon
New Issue:
Unfortunately this change seems to have broken transmission, as the web interface no longer works. hmmmmm...

Any suggestions on how I can fix this?Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.1.59:9091.
Many thanks, kenwood.
