I'm running a Samba server and connecting to my HTPC via a SMB share.

When I try and transfer a file out of the /media/media/downloads folder, I get the following error...

You need permission to perform this action

You require permission from Unix User\debian-transmission to make changes to this file.

Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong? I really need to be able to transfer all of my files out of the downloads directory when they are complete.

Is transmission giving you that error message? Or nautilus?

What are the permissions on that directory currently?

ls -ld /media/media/downloads

EDIT: Oh, btw, there's no configuration option called "complete-dir".

Set "incomplete-dir" to the location you want data to go when downloading. It will then be moved to "download-dir" when the download is complete.

It's actually Windows 7 showing the permissions error.

The directory permissions say...

drwxrwxrwx 4 xbmc xbmc 4096

not entirely sure what that means.

Oh, btw, there's no configuration option called "complete-dir".

Set "incomplete-dir" to the location you want data to go when downloading. It will then be moved to "download-dir" when the download is complete.

Yeah the "complete-dir" never worked. I just saw it in another forum so I thought I'd give it a try

Ok, so my OLD settings.json file had UMASK = 18

I changed it to UMASK = 0
I did sudo chmod -R 777 /media/media/Downloads

and now everything is accessable.
