Transmission-daemon can't write to a Downloads folder.
(I have installed and used transmission before, and i dont remember ever having trouble with it, i have read these forums and i cant find an answer.)
Ubuntu 22.04, recently / fresh installation and Transmission-daemon. Any assistance with this will be greatly appreciated ! :) Thanks
To my understanding, this is saying the transmission-daemon is running as the user 'debian-transmission' ;
!
My_User@Store:~$ ps ax o user:20,pid,pcpu,pmem,vsz,rss,stat,start_time,time,cmd | grep trans
!
debian-transmission 52574 0.1 0.3 178152 11332 Ssl Oct21 00:00:57 /usr/bin/transmission-daemon -f --log-error
!
Folder permissions show debian-transmission has rw permissions;
!
My_User@Store:~/Downloads$ ls -l
total 12

drwxrwx--- 2 debian-transmission debian-transmission 4096 Oct 9 13:07 Torrents_Downloading

I'm not sure how relevant this is, but the init.d user for transmission-daemon is set as debian-transimission;
!
/init.d/transmission-daemon
!
NAME=transmission-daemon
DAEMON=/usr/bin/$NAME
USER=debian-transmission
STOP_TIMEOUT=30
!
syslog error when transmission tries to write to the folder;
