Permission denied to windows share on Raspberry Pi 3 (Jessie)

[MartyTng]

I have a mount point pointing to a Windows share. This is mounted in /etc/fstab like so:

//192.168.0.6/d/downloads /media/windowsshare cifs username=*WINDOWS_USER,password=*PASSWORD*,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0

I can create/delete files in that folder no problem with file explorer in Raspbian. However, torrents won't download to the folder. The download will start, run for a minute, then show an error "permission denied". What do I need to do to allow Transmission to right to the windows share?

Is the uid=1000 the user that Transmission runs as? Could you try "su" to that user ID and see if you can write to the mount? Also think you should figure out some way to verify that transmission is really going to, and complaining about /media/windowshare. Maybe try it without the mount and see if it creates files on the local directory. There have been cases where people chased around thinking the permission was one place and it turned out to be somewhere else.

Are you using that as the download directory? Not gaining you much that way as your PC would have to be turned on all the time.

I run Transmission on an Odroid running Ubuntu. I have a USB hard drive connected to it for the download directory. I share that so windows can mount it and copy files when the download completes. I ran for about a month downloading to a 128GB USB flash drive but eventually it died. Not sure if it was a bad drive or if the IO was too much for the flash.
