Transmission not working?

[knoxer]

I installed transmission in Dockstar per https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Transmission.
The archlinux was installed in a 4G USB drive. Another large external hard drive is mounted using udevil. So, the external hard drive was mounted with file rights (dwrx-rx-r). How can I change it to dwrx-rwx-rwx?

I wanted to download files to the external hard drive. However, the transmission user has no rw privileges to the media drive dirs. When I used "chown transmission /media/USB_Movies/Downloads", it states "permission denied".

Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance!

What filesystem is the external drive?

As an option you can run transmission as root (which is not recommended for security reasons, but I do anyway)

check /etc/udevil/udevil.conf for mount options

The file system is vsfat. What needs to be changed in /etc/udevil/udevil.conf?

How do you run transmission as root? Which files do you change? I have tried without any success.

What I modified:
1/ /usr/lib/systemd/system/transmission.service

2/ /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/transmission.conf

Anything else needs to be changed to run as root?

Details are much appreciated!

Stop transmission if it's running
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'systemctl stop transmission')

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'nano /etc/systemd/system/transmission.service')

and paste this:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '.include /usr/lib/systemd/system/transmission.service

[Service]
User=root')

This will allow you to run transmission as root.

Now reenable it and start it
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'systemctl reenable transmission
systemctl start transmission')
