Has the OP tried another client? Deluge could do just what he wants?
(Before this goes off topic)
No problem but transmission due it looks its not easy to monitor all torrents in the graphical interface, but you can make it display better in the cli.
nah he currently needs to find out if Linux can write to the NAS.
But i think this discussion helps him too since i don't recommend utorrent on Linux. (Sorry to you guys using a BSD orientated OS, but this is a Linux thread!) :p
It wrote to drives in my rig, though not Network Attached, they are mounted on /run/media/user/the-drive then unmounted. LUKS LVM and EXT4 drives.
it depends how you configure it, but if you read post above it looks the NAS is mounted as root and that the user aint allowed to get in it.
but have to wait till he tests it again.
but lets ease up this conversation seeing we got a big chat washing away the other reply's :p
So what I recommend doing is mounting the NAS using SSHFS. You can then tell transmission to save to /mnt/nas/downloads er whatever. Make sure to add that to your fstab
What are the permissions on the download directory?
Ok, to answer some questions.
I was only trying to use transmission or utorrent to download the files to the nas over the network.
Transmission can SEE it, just doesn't write to it. And Utorrent server could see the drive, but I forgot to set the drive on the network as where it was supposed to save all downloaded files. So I was trying to find where Utorrent server natively saves files so I could move the files I downloaded.
I got frustrated, and just used an old virtual machine of Windows 7, made it seamless. then I downloaded Utorrent onto THAT, accessed the drive on the Nas and had Utorrent download the files to the nas that way. And it worked.
No drive is mounted yet. Although for linux I do have one of the directories from that server mounted cause I needed some old text files for work.
I am a newbie at Linux, I've had it for a few months now, and only basically use it for work stuff with a document program (libreoffice) and light gaming with Rocket League. Most everything so far has been straight forward. It's Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, with a dual booted Windows 10 installation I use for the rest of my gaming.
Transmission fails the instant it tries writing ANY part of the file. It establishes a connection to the network share, to seeds, and when it starts writing it fails instantly.
I've looked at whether Linux CAN write to that share, and others from the NAS and yes, it can. As a test I've transfered several files back and forth between my NAS and my LINUX home folder. Video files, text files, etc.
I just ran a test, by reinstalling uTorrent server and I set the download folder, and it says it finished the file, but it's not where it should be, and the web gui for utorrent server doesn't let me open the location of the file. So where in the hell is it saving it to? I don't have anything set as where it should default to downloading it to. I am confused.
But yes, I CAN write to and from the Network share in Linux, and a VM in Linux CAN write to and from the share in Linux. But two programs apparently cannot.
Hope this helps. I feel like such a noob and it's frustrating.
Also if this helps Libre Office, Google Chrome, and several emulators have no problem writing or loading files from the NAS over the network.
What type of NAS are we talking about?
also do you know how its accessible over network?
right click on the NAS in networkmap should tell.
smb:// sftp:// or somthing like that.
for the Utorrent issue you can look into preferences of utorrent there should be something where you can save the files when finished. They still allow you to change preferences right?
also if you don't mind i added NAS to the title.
i think its best that we also solve that NAS error or at least understand the issue.
I myself never had these issues over network. Unix was build to communicate well over networks.
I built my own nas. It's more just a Windows Server 2012 Essentials server. But I use it as my NAS. I simply use the shared folders it has over the network. In Ubuntu I had to make a bookmark to the location because I couldn't find the place where Ubuntu shows computers on the local network. Since earlier in the thread I've been using a Windows 7 VM to Access all of that and just transfered files between the VM and host with the shared folder. It's a workaround but until I know how to properly do all this, it was the only solution I could think of.
Where is the networkmap? I know if I copy the path to the folder from File Manager and paste it into a text document it says (smb://192.168.0.194/shared%20folders/)
In the web browser for uTorrent Server I have tried to have it save to the network share, but it doesn't and dowloads it somewhere else. The are where you specify the path turns blank if you reopen preferences.
Changing the title is fine. This topic has migrated topics anyway.
And that's another thing I don't understand. In my VM, it sees my NAS perfectly fine. Well, under network computers it doesn't show my nas\server, but If I input it's path on the network I can access it perfectly fine. And uTorrent running on the windows VM has no problems writing to the NAS at all. If my torrent clients in Ubuntu are having problems doing it, shouldn't the VM inside Ubuntu have the same problem?
