Yes, note that the media and transmission folder has write permissions only for root users and other read-only users.

You can fix it:
Code: Select all
chmod -R 0777 /tmp/usb_mount/dev_sda1/media
chmod -R 0777 /tmp/usb_mount/dev_sda1/transmission
chown -R root.root /tmp/usb_mount/dev_sda1/media
chown -R root.root /tmp/usb_mount/dev_sda1/transmission
But keep in mind that any manipulation with folders can change rights (when creating).

i forgot to attach this but before i modify permission setting could you please check these?
but before i cap this i modified Transmission's configuration. so i had to move to the new router and i changed the settings by comparing with the old one. the old Transmission configuration does not contained any permission settings while the new one has:
Code: Select all
option user 'transmission'
option group 'transmission'
i commented these out first time and then Transmission created it's folder as root. now i took a try and deleted the folder and set the original permissions in the configuration and let it recreate things. now it looks like this:
i guess "transmission" folder is okay. it's for the torrent configurations, no user files there. should i change the overall permissions for every folder as you advised? cause transmission operating well as i see the only problem is that it cannot download till i don't set the right access to "media" and subfolders.

Now you have to play it, the same rights (0777) should be on other folders as well.
