Can you add the output ofps -ef | grep transmissionto the question. I don't think transmission-daemon has the right to write to home dirs by default.

Assuming the path to the download folder is /home/chen/TV shows, run the following:
add chen to the debian-transmission group
sudo usermod -a -G debian-transmission chen
change the folder ownership
sudo chgrp debian-transmission /home/chen/TV shows
grant write access to the group
sudo chmod 770 /home/chen/TV shows
Stop the deamon with
sudo service transmission-daemon stop
The last thing to do is change the file creation mask, so that the downloaded files would be writeable by chen.
sudo nano /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
… and change
"umask": 18to"umask": 2. Hit Ctrl+O to save and Ctrl+X to exit.
Start the daemon with
sudo service transmission-daemon start

This is a permission issue based on the user ID that is running Transmission. Transmission sets up a default user that you might not expect on first install. The user name is debian-transmission.
I will explain how to change that:
- Stop the Transmission daemon
sudo service transmission-daemon stop
- Open the Transmission config file for editing:
sudo nano /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon
- Find the line that says
USER=debian-transmissionand change it to the user that owns the folder in question. If you are not concerned about security issues, you can also useUSER=rootin this file. (Not advised, but good for troubleshooting). - Alternatively (instead of point number 3), modify the /etc/fstab folder to mount the folder with correct permissions for the user that runs the transmission-daemon.
- Start the Transmission daemon
sudo service transmission-daemon start

That won't work. Here either the usertransmission-daemonor root also owns "/var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json" and if you change the daemon to run as $USER , it will giveCouldn't read "/var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json": Permission denied. It somehow worked in your system , But this is not the proper way to do it.

Check if you're using an "incomplete" folder.
The error can be misleading in this case and it may be the incomplete folder you do not have write access to.

that was my case: in the settings I had a wrong case for the incomplete dir. So the error was doubly misleading: the error was not in the directory the error was telling and the error should have been "not found" and not "permission denied"

This was my problem! It had reset to /root/incomplete, which obviously isn't writable!

This just happened to me. I found this page, was intimidated by all the jargon, so I restarted Transmission, reserved the torrent file to a different location, and saved the torrent data to the same different location (desktop). Worked like a charm...

This might be an apparmor profile problem. Transmission runs under the sanitized_helper profile in apparmor.
Look for complaints in /var/log/kern.log. grep transm /var/log/kern.log, particularly just after trying to run transmission and it failing.

Since this is the top search result in Google, for anyone reading this, I spend over an hour trying to get it to work. Turns out, the downloads folder specified in settings.json is "Downloads" instead of "downloads". Note the case.

In my case the problem was how the drive was being mounted. Using this in /etc/fstab worked for me:
UUID=2069-1A05 /mnt/ext vfat rw,user,exec,umask=0000 0 0

Mounting the external drive into my home directory resolved this issue;
sudo mkdir /home/plex/media-server
sudo chmod 770 /home/plex/media-server
sudo mount /dev/sdxx/ /home/plex/media-drive
note. sdxx is the name of your hdd. you can use the following command to find yours;
sudo blkid

I had same issue, and that was a mistake I had made when sym-linking the transmission download directory to my home/user/ directory, I changed the ownership of the sym-linked file which by consequence also changed the ownership of the transmission 'download' directory...
I just chowned back to 'debian-transmission' ownership and it worked like a charm (without need to restart service)
#chown debian-transmission:debian-transmission /var/lib/transmission/downloads
(well, you'll have to check according your own linux distribution what is the right owner and eventually also your right path to the downloads directory)

I had similar issue with transmission. I got Permission Error while downloading even with correct folder permission settings on the external USB HDD.
I just mounted the external HDD to the /home/pi/ with the same permissions and it worked fine.
mount /dev/sda /home/pi/USB-HDD-MOUNTED
permissions are drwxrwxrwx (0777) pi:debian-transmission.
user name is changed to pi in /etc/init.d/transmisssion-daemon.

@GDorn That shouldn't be the case."umask": 2translates to permissions of 774, or rwxrwxr--, which means fool access for owner and group.

Useful answer, but, maybe, I can suggest an editt to the answer: I had troubles with/var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-demon/torrents. This directory didn't have write permission. Changing them all stated to work.

In case anyone tries to
cd into their directory right after doing this and receive a permission denied, logout and login again. My SSH session did not have the right permissions to access the folder after folder ownership was given to debian-tranmission group (since my user wasn't added to that group until next logon)– matrixanomaly

This works up until I need to create a new folder (e.g. the torrent's files are nested). Then I get another permission denied.

This is a permission issue based on the user ID that is running Transmission. Transmission sets up a default user that you might not expect on first install. The user name is debian-transmission.
I will explain how to change that:
- Stop the Transmission daemon
sudo service transmission-daemon stop
- Open the Transmission config file for editing:
sudo nano /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon
- Find the line that says
USER=debian-transmissionand change it to the user that owns the folder in question. If you are not concerned about security issues, you can also useUSER=rootin this file. (Not advised, but good for troubleshooting). - Alternatively (instead of point number 3), modify the /etc/fstab folder to mount the folder with correct permissions for the user that runs the transmission-daemon.
- Start the Transmission daemon
sudo service transmission-daemon start

That won't work. Here either the usertransmission-daemonor root also owns "/var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json" and if you change the daemon to run as $USER , it will giveCouldn't read "/var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json": Permission denied. It somehow worked in your system , But this is not the proper way to do it.

Check if you're using an "incomplete" folder.
The error can be misleading in this case and it may be the incomplete folder you do not have write access to.

that was my case: in the settings I had a wrong case for the incomplete dir. So the error was doubly misleading: the error was not in the directory the error was telling and the error should have been "not found" and not "permission denied"

This just happened to me. I found this page, was intimidated by all the jargon, so I restarted Transmission, reserved the torrent file to a different location, and saved the torrent data to the same different location (desktop). Worked like a charm...

This might be an apparmor profile problem. Transmission runs under the sanitized_helper profile in apparmor.
Look for complaints in /var/log/kern.log. grep transm /var/log/kern.log, particularly just after trying to run transmission and it failing.

I had same issue, and that was a mistake I had made when sym-linking the transmission download directory to my home/user/ directory, I changed the ownership of the sym-linked file which by consequence also changed the ownership of the transmission 'download' directory...
I just chowned back to 'debian-transmission' ownership and it worked like a charm (without need to restart service)
#chown debian-transmission:debian-transmission /var/lib/transmission/downloads
(well, you'll have to check according your own linux distribution what is the right owner and eventually also your right path to the downloads directory)

I had similar issue with transmission. I got Permission Error while downloading even with correct folder permission settings on the external USB HDD.
I just mounted the external HDD to the /home/pi/ with the same permissions and it worked fine.
mount /dev/sda /home/pi/USB-HDD-MOUNTED
permissions are drwxrwxrwx (0777) pi:debian-transmission.
user name is changed to pi in /etc/init.d/transmisssion-daemon.

Can you add the output of
ps -ef | grep transmissionto the question. I don't think transmission-daemon has the right to write to home dirs by default.– mikewhatever

I added it, how do I add permissions to this user ?

Well, I was after the name of the user it runs under, but it's not shown. Try
ps aux | grep transmissioninstead.– mikewhatever
Nov 23 '12 at 20:25
Hm..., it looks like its username it 109 - kind of odd.

This is really bizarre, but it should be running under
debian-transmission, not sure why it shows a stupid number. You can verify that withid debian-transmission.– mikewhatever
