Seriously wtf.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Transmission
I run the daemon through systemctl, my config is set from /var/lib/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json, I have /home/access/Downloads/torrents as my download directory, incomplete downloads folder is disabled.
I have tried the following combinations of permissions on my folder
drwxrwxrwx 3 transmission transmission 4096 Feb 22 16:13 torrents
drwxrwxrwx 3 access transmission 4096 Feb 22 16:13 torrents
I got it working using an external directory, but that folder isn't even owned by the transmission group: it's owned by the http user and group.
Does anybody know why this isn't working?
Thanks

Hello there,
What user are you running Transmission as?
Best Regards

Hey @bugsmanagement,
My apologies, I should have clarified... transmission-da process is absolutely running as transmission user.
output of
ps aux | grep transmission gives the following output:
transmi+ 608 0.0 0.0 184264 7764 ? Ssl 22:22 0:01 /usr/bin/transmission-daemon -f --log-error
access 31927 0.0 0.0 3176 888 pts/0 S+ 23:36 0:00 grep transmission
I can assume from your question, and this subsequent response, that the world hasn't turned inside out and a bug report is in order?

No, what is output of the following commands.
ls -ld /
ls -ld /home
ls -ld /home/access/
ls -ld /home/access/Downloads/
ls -ld /home/access/Downloads/torrentsSeems to me, as it's common, something is broken in the chain?

This I thought also, yet I have just remembered one more detail: I also had issues even after adding the user 'access' to the transmission group. Also as stated above, the external device is not even in the transmission group.

If you look at the output:
$ ls -ld /home/access
drwx------ 31 access access 4096 Feb 23 23:35 /home/accessOnly user access has access to /home/access, not transmission. Either you run transmission as access or you change the current permissions to allow access. If access group is part of transmission list of groups, then you need to allow that group access to the folder? Eg, chmod 0750.
P.S. Don't forget:
$ ls -ld /home/access/Downloads
drwx------ 6 access access 16384 Feb 23 21:23 /home/access/DownloadsP.S.S
$ ls -ld /mnt
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb 4 20:10 /mnt
$ ls -ld /mnt/RAID1
drwxrwxrwx 17 http http 4096 Feb 16 14:40 /mnt/RAID1
$ ls -ld /mnt/RAID1/torrents
drwxrwxrwx 133 http http 16384 Feb 22 18:36 /mnt/RAID1/torrentsI would highly like to dissuade you form blindly setting permissions to 0777, especially content that's deemed sensitive. You should get the gist by now and set the permissions appropriately.
P.S.S.S
Lastly, I wanted to remind you to use [ code ] tags instead of [ quote ] tags when including shell output.

Ah yes, ok so I had this problem with sym-linking some php files to apache. Problem ended up being that the parent folders lacked permissions. I did not realise this was a Linux-by-design feature, even though I consider myself to be a fairly advanced user. That self-appraisal clearly needs adjusting for now.
P.S. Don't forget:

Indeed, this is not a common approach. I set these permissions in an act of desparation. I usually take a much more fine-grained approach but this was done in haste.

Of course, I shall endeavor to improve my forum etiquette.
Thank you for you guidance. Live long and prosper.
