Hi guys,

Thanks for the help with my initial topic. I'm with fun plug running now and I've installed Transmission, my greatest interest. Now I'm facing one last problem. I just cant setup the Transmission download directory. Anyone cold give me a noob guide to do this.

I think everything else is fine, but my downloads will stop because the destination path dont even exists...

Stop Transmission
Ensure all transmission processes have stopped using the "ps -ef|grep transmission" command
Edit your settings.json file
Set the download path by changing ths line "download-dir": "---insert path here-------",
save and exit the settings.json file
Start Transmission

I'm just coimpletely lost. I can't understand the commands. I'm a linux newbie and I read a lot of guides to setup transmision here without sucess....

Which commands are you having trouble with?

Stopping and starting transmission should be covered in the tutorial you used to install it.
Example http://dns323.kood.org/forum/t2719-%5BR … ssion.html

This command
"ps -ef|grep transmission"
tells you whether or not transmission is running, but is somewhat optional. Try running it when transmission is running, you will see it list a number of processes. When transmission is stopped, it doesn't list anything, which is good, it means it isn't running.

Transmission must be stopped in order to make changes to the seeting.json file.

Learning how to edit a file is important for 1000 reasons. There are basic tutorials in this forum, but a google search will turn up lots of detailed sites. "vi" and "vim" are basic editors in Linux that you should already have installed. There are many others, some easier to use, but you have to install them.

If you want to use any Linux system, learning about the command "ls", "ps" and "vi" will be invaluable

I think I'm having problems understanding the paths, because what I see here is the paths of the network shares and I'm under windows. So I supose that what I see is completely diferent from the internal paths that I have to setup. For exemple, if I want to use a path that is shared like this "\\NAS\Volume_1\Downloads", how do I must set up for transmission?

And I'd also like to know whats this "nobody" in the command lines.

Thank you FunFiler.

Now it seems like I have everything setup but transmission can't write to the disk. The downloads are stoping just after starting.
