I'm having a little problem here. So I changed the group of a folder including subfolders via chgrp -R groupname and it works all fine but I'm using transmission and pyload to download files into those folders and they both write the files as root in there.

Can I somehow change the default group/user for the specific folder so that it also includes new folders/files?

First of all, it's not recommended to run pyload as root. You better take a user which has full read/write permissions on the pyload home folder as well as the download folder.

Second, inside the pyLoad-WebUI, you can choose under Settings->Menu->Permissions how pyload should handle file-permissions.

  • Hi, how can I make it run as no root user? It is a service doesn't that require root? – tamani Aug 24 '14 at 11:36
  • Just run "pyLoadCore --daemon" as your Main-Unix-User. pyLoad runs under the user, you start it with. Don't do "sudo" or something like this. – snickers2k Aug 24 '14 at 16:13
