Make transmission save its files to a samba share

[Laurent Dinclaux]

Hello,

I use transmission-daemon to download torrent files. It normally saves its files to /var/lib/transmission. It runs as debian-transmission:debian-transmission. I can set a umask in the settings. For now any file create by trnasmission have this permissions set:

drwxr-xr-x  debian-transmission debian-transmission

I created a debian-transmission group in Zentyal and gave permissions to that group to /home/samba/shares/downloads that I set up as a samba share.

But it seems transmission isn't able to save its files there, it gets a permission denied.

How could I solve that?

Regards

your trying to do ldap groups,  rather than system groups...
 remove the  ldap group ... and instead,  use the cli to  chown the folder, 

or install pam,  than create a  user call torrent,  (in zentyal)  and  change your transmission to run under that user...
