How to set user access to allow deleting bittorrent files
Hello,
I know I have seen lots of random scraps of info regarding this, but nothing that actually worked from what I have seen unless I am missing something.
The issue is the normal not being able to delete the bittorrent files after they have downloaded.
I have installed busybox on it and can telnet and delete the files manually, however this is a pain and there has to be a way to allow it though windows with the permissions.
I tried the chown -R <windowsuser> /mnt/HD_a2/BT/ to try and take ownership of the folders (yes, setup user account as system and same password as windows vista) but that didnt fix anything.
I also tried blowing away the folders and then manually creating them though file manager in vista so as to have the inherent permissions through that, but once a file downloads, it still uses the old permissions and cant delete it again.
Suggestions on this? Rather frustrating.

Have same problem, raised this issue before but didn't get a resolution (unusual for this forum). See http://dns323.kood.org/forum/t2585-dele … es%3F.html
D-Link really should have an option to delete the torrent from the same panel you can remove the download from...

Re: How to set user access to allow deleting bittorrent files
I managed to do it with telnet
Use this command:
chmod -R 777 /mnt/HD_a2/BT/complete/
It will give you all the rights on the files and you can delete them afterward
I guess you do chmod via FTP also. But you can't delete it directly from Windows.

That fixed it, can't believe how easy it was. Still yet to see if the rights will get changed back after my next download but at least I can issue that command once and then delete them all in one go from Windows....
Thanks v. much

Sorry to dig but what does the -R 777 mean? or do?

Re: How to set user access to allow deleting bittorrent files
Got info from another forum. Thanks to psychdev for his concise explanation.
Im a linux junky, so I'll try to explain it...I'm sure the sites above give a good explaining.. but who wants to visit another site?
chmod stands for "Change Mode".
The numbers part is a little more complicated.... "777" is three numbers..to be nerdy and specific.. it is three 3 digit binary (base 2) numbers converted into three 1 digit octal (base 8) numbers.
The first number stands for "user", the second group stands for "group" and the final number stands for "other". There are three possible things that can be done with a file: read, write, and execute.. Here is a little reference:
execute = 001 in binary = 1 in octal
write = 010 in binary = 2 in octal
read = 100 in binary = 4 in octal
So where does the 7 come from?
7 in binary = 111 in decimal = read, write, execute
So you get:
read write execute = 111 = 1 + 2 + 4 = 7
read write no execute = 110 = 4 + 2 = 6
read no write execute = 101 = 4 + 1 = 5
read no write no execute = 100 = 4
no read write execute = 011 = 2 + 1 = 3
no read write no execute = 010 = 2
no read no write execute = 001 = 1
no read no write no execute = 000 = 0
Make sense?
To make a file "chmod 777" you would simply type:
chmod 777 filename.ext
My 2 cents now
The -R is for recursive permissions ie set permissions on the subfolders as well.
For me personally I found the best permissions is the following
chmod -R 777 /mnt/HD_a2/BT/ to reset all permissions to give everyone access for read/write/execute
chmod 771 /mnt/HD_a2/BT/ to set only execute permissions to everyone which allows you to access subfolders but not root BT folder
what this does is blocks everyone from being able to read the BT folder and hence not pursue any further but if you connect to BT/*sub-folder* (because you know what the name of the folders are) you get access. Good for hiding what u are currently downloading.
