Files not moving

Post by seanyd »

When I download a torrent I am unable to move the downloaded file from the directory it was downloaded to. This counts for torrents that have been remove from transmission. The response I get is that its in use with another programme, transmission I assume. How can I fix this once and for all? I have stopped all my torrents and this hasnt worked

Not necessarily. More likely to be a media player.
I have stopped both the transmission daemon and the twonky daemon. Still unbale to move them, theres nothing else accessing them. I have found when I root in with winscp I can move them, but its really slow because it goes though the PC.

This may be permission related. If you have proper command-line access you could try chmod 777 myfile and try again.
