mod 644 and users transmission (NSLU2)

Post by bramschats »

Hello,

I want to give my windows share / ftp client permission to read and write acces to the folders and files i download. At this time only the owner has that permission (mod 644) so i cannot modify or delete the files and folders. I'm using transmission 1.42 and unslung 6.10 beta.

I have 'after reboot manually startup my transmission using this
command: #/opt/bin/transmission-daemon

here are the extension options that i do not use because i have
a .json file:

# /opt/bin/transmission-daemon -h
Transmission 1.42 (7495) http://www.transmissionbt.com/
A fast and easy BitTorrent client

Usage: transmission-daemon [options]

Options:
-h --help Display this help page and exit
-a --allowed <list> Allowed IP addresses. (Default:
127.0.0.1)
-b --blocklist Enable peer blocklists
-B --no-blocklist Disable peer blocklists
-f --foreground Run in the foreground instead of
daemonizing
-g --config-dir <path> Where to look for configuration files
-p --port <port> RPC port (Default: 9091)
-t --auth Require authentication
-T --no-auth Don't require authentication
-u --username <username> Set username for authentication
-v --password <password> Set password for authentication
-w --download-dir <path> Where to save downloaded data
#

My configuration file looks like this: /root/.config/transmission-
daemon/settings.json
{
"blocklist-enabled": 0,
"download-dir": "\/share\/flash\/data\/downloads",
"download-limit": 100,
"download-limit-enabled": 0,
"encryption": 1,
"max-peers-global": 200,
"peer-port": 51413,
"pex-enabled": 1,
"port-forwarding-enabled": 0,
"rpc-authentication-required": 1,
"rpc-password": "bs2556",
"rpc-port": 8091,
"rpc-username": "bram",
"rpc-whitelist": "*.*.*.*",
"upload-limit": 100,
"upload-limit-enabled": 0

I followed procedure: http://www.nslu2-
linux.org/wiki/Optware/Transmission but i have transmission 1.42 so
it's not in total compattible with my version.

I think indeed it has something to do with the samba mounts, if a
windows mount and ftp is a samba mount. what i did now is chmod -R
777 /share/flash/data/downloads, this works but not for the new files
and folders.

please guide me trough, it's probably not that hard.

thanks in afvance
