Transmission client can't access mounted NFS share

linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I set up transmission-daemon on my Scientific Linux 6.3 machine to download files to a mounted NFS share (mounted during boot via /etc/fstab). The directory that the NFS share is mounted to was chown'ed to the transmission-daemon user and group. In the Transmission web interface, I add a test .torrent file, and got a permission denied error when Transmission tries to access the destination download directory (i.e the mounted NFS share). However, a regular user on the SL 6.3 system can read and write to that share fine. What should I do to resolve this issue? Thanks. (HowTos)

Hi,Is there a way for me to monitor the transmission-daemon in the CLI.

I have the following situation: I have two servers, one sharing files over CIFS, the other shares files by FTP. The FTP-Server has the CIFS Share mounted, and FTP users can download from this mount.

The Problem: When an FTP User downloads a "big" file (about 800MB) from the CIFS mount the download never stops and continues after reaching 100%.

Apache, Samba and permissions 50 weeks 3 days ago

I'm trying to configure Apache to write to a mounted Samba share. I have successfully configured Samba server, mounted the share on the client and I am able to write to the share as the Apache user. Apache gets Permission denied errors when it tries to write.

I'm tailing the Samba log on the Samba server. I'm able to see a log entry when I create a test file.
