NSA325v2: Transmission default download folder

Thanks but I don't understand how that helps me to edit this setting. If I understand correctly you gave me earlier the file path to the general settings of the Transmission app? How do I go from there to specifically editing where Transmission saves the files?

This is what I get when entering the command:

"

• /i-data/sysvol/.PKG/Transmission/config/Transmission/settings.json 1/1 100% "

What would be the next step here?

You should have seen the contents of the file, but instead you see nothing. So either the file is empty, or it isn't there. Is it possible that you installed Transmission on another volume than default?

Yeah I just reinstalled Transmission and chose to put it on "Volume 3" instead of "Volume 1" which would have been the default.

Do I have to reinstall again or can the command be edited to fit the current location?

vi /i-data/sysvol/.PKG/Transmission/config/Transmission/settings.json

I tried changing sysvol to "sysvol3" but it did nothing.

If the volume is not the default one, the path to the file is not predictable, as the mountpoints of the volumes are random names (sysvol is not really a directory, but a symlink to the random name which contains volume 1).

Yet it is easy to get a list of the random names:

ls /i-data

Thanks Mijzelf,

That did not go as planned though.

ls /i-data

Did get me a list of 3 random "file names" but replacing "sysvol" on the command you gave with either of those changed nothing. File is empty or not there.

Any clue?

Mijzelf

find /i-data/

will give a full listing of all files in /i-data/, with their full path. That is way to much, so you can filter it on paths containing transmission (as string):

find /i-data/ | grep -i transmission

The -i makes the filter case independent.

If that is still too much data, you could add a json filter:

find /i-data/ | grep -i transmission | grep -i json
