I did exactly like your describe but the torrents doesn't load up, I have the Web-UI directly loaded empty. I'm almost confident it should unless there's some other strange configuration that's making the package center create folders with weird permissions. But I'm furstrated not to understand what's wrong. It's not the end of the world, I can start clean with the torrent, re-add manually the ones I really want to keep in seed. In your case, a restart is not going to help until you try the above first. My thinking is that it just took time for transmission to reload all the torrents. I only did it in my case because I was still working out the exact steps. I should try tonight, but I would be surprise and a bit frustrated if it works. I cannot restart right now as kids are watching videos out of it.

Is it really necessary to restart the NAS completely ? I never had situation where it was necessary in the past as far as I remember. If it times out, just wait 10-20 mins or so, and try again. 2000+ torrents is a lot, so it may take a couple of minutes to connect (you may get timeout errors too).

I left out -r part because this will also change the file permissions too. It is better to use "755" (drwxr-xr-x) for the transmission folder itself and the folders inside. To change permission, you'd use chmod 777. Basically, you assigned the user "777" (which probably doesn't exist for you) to be the owner. Thus I did chown -r 777 to see if it helps before that.Ĭhown changes the ownership of the file/folder.

But the user ownership of the folder is also strange because. Maybe someone more knowledgeable knows why that happened. I'm not sure why the installation package would create the transmission folder like that. Are the other folders in like this too? The folders in here generally have a 755 permission (drwxr-xr-x). Ls -l gives "ls: cannot open directory Permission denied"ĭrwx- 6 777 sc-transmission 4096 Aug 14 22:10 transmission
