I am using transmission daemon to download torrents and I access it with transmission remote cli.
I want to have the downloaded files on my home folder so it can be accessed from an FTP server
Since when I've changed the daemon config to store in /home/mirko/shared I get "Permission error" and the torrent won't download.
I've followed many guides and gave folder write/read permission to the 'transmission' group. This also for the "Download" folder which is my "uncompleted files" dir
I was also careful to stop/restart the service and write to the proper config file (the settings are read properly).
From the logs I still get
Aug 13 12:28:12 mirkarch transmission-daemon[899]: [2015-08-13 12:28:12.652 CEST] Couldn't create "/home/mirko/shared": Permission denied (utils.c:424)
Aug 13 12:29:07 mirkarch transmission-daemon[899]: [2015-08-13 12:29:07.652 CEST] Couldn't create "/home/mirko/Downloads": Permission denied (utils.c:424)but the two folders (shared and Dowloads) are already there. Does this mean that the parent folder (mirko) has to be set with write permissions for the transmission group ?
Theese are the permissions settings
[mirko@mirkarch ~]$ ls -la Downloads/
total 8
drwxrwxr-x 2 mirko transmission 4096 Aug 12 17:27 .
drwx------ 20 mirko mirko 4096 Aug 13 12:37 ..
[mirko@mirkarch ~]$ ls -la shared/
total 400692
drwxrwx--- 9 mirko transmission 4096 Aug 12 17:26 .
drwx------ 20 mirko mirko 4096 Aug 13 12:37 ..Last edited by stilllife00 (2015-08-13 13:04:14)

The mistake was to not set the "readable" bit on the "mirko" folder.
So I've changed the structure to
-- home/mirko/ (775 mirko mirko)
-- tor/ (775 mirko transmission)
and transmission was able to write "incomplete" and "done" folders within the "tor" folder
