deluged.service and access to download target on filesystem help

I am running deluged.service and told it to download to /media/downloads but how to I grant the deluge user permission to read/write to /media/downloads when my user owns that directory and the deluge user is not in my user group?

Might be an easier way, but see: http://xyne.archlinux.ca/notes/linux/sh … ctory.html

EDIT: This should really be covered in the deluge wiki page...

Deluge will not download for me after trying the advice. What did I do wrong?

# chgrp deluge /media/downloads
# chmod g+s /media/downloads
# setfacl -d -m g:deluge:rwx /media/downloads
# getfacl /media/downloads
# ls -l /media
drwx--S---+  3 maggie deluge 4.0K Apr 13 05:33 downloads

Not sure... another strategy is to add yourself to the 'deluge' group and make /media/downloads owned by you and that group. Maybe someone else has a better idea.

Example as root:

usermod -a -G deluge maggie
mkdir /foo
chown -R maggie:deluge /foo
chmod 770 /foo
chmod g+s /foo

The last command will make new files and subdirectories inherit the group ID I believe.
