Transmission (Docker) - broken file permissions


Recommended Posts

The Transmission (Docker) is creating files with permissions:

-rw-r--r--

therefore only the file owner (user: nobody) can move/delete the files.

 

Previous Transmission plugin (non Docker) was creating the files with permissions:

-rw-rw-rw-

 

I am accessing the files with user:somebodyelse, therefore i can only read all the downloaded files in the share, but not delete or modify them.

Is there any simple way to fix this (except running chmod from command line) ?

I finally figured out the solution:

 

in file: appdata/Transmission/settings.json

 

change the:

umask: 18

 

to:

umask: 73

 

this will save the downloaded files with rw-rw-rw- permissions.

 

Note:

-you have to stop the Transmission in Docker prior to editing the settings.json file. Otherwise your changes are lost.

- to fix permissions for allready downloaded files run the "chmod -R 666 *" in your Download directory from a console (e.g. putty or any telnet client you prefer).
