Gargoyle Forum

I would like to share my HDD's content on local mostly but I'm sure that I'm doing something wrong cause nothing happens when I save settings. I found some threads here but those did not help figure out and most of them pretty old. Are there any tutorial here which explains everything about FTP setup?

See if this or this tutorial suits your needs, as these are pretty common scenarios. I use something very similar to this.

Nothing happens. Nothing saved but the user. I would like to reach the root...

Screenshot and steps taken?
Are you remembering to press “add shared disk” once you enter all setting?

Yes I did. That's why I asking a detailed guide. Maybe Transmission cause something?

back again. i had to change my router, had to change the external HDD. now as i see DLNA and Transmission can write and create files. but somehow if i create a same share like on my old router in the same way i cannot write/copy to the HDD. how the hell should i setup this? i read the Gargoyle guides several times but does not solve this issue. i cannot figure out what goes wrong. my main goal is to share the HDD inside my home network with the devices as anonymous with write permission.

screen shots please of your config so far

I just setup something very simple and tested all permissions, and it works great.

Perhaps Transmission is changing the folder permission on the mount making it inaccessible to the "ftp" user?

Look through the ssh PS command, which user started the Transmission service - if it is not root, access will be denied and you will need to make a change to the service user or execute the CHMOD and CHOWN command.

This is just an issue of access rights and we also have to reckon with it in Linux: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_syst ... ermissions

i guess but why and what set these permissions by default? here's the permissions:



i can write to the "/" from clients via file managers. "media" is where transmission should download, "transmission" contains the configurations.
