Won't changing user in transmission from transmission-daemon to user introduce security issues? Will this work from http://linuxplained.com/install-transmission-web-interface-on-ubuntu-1204/ "It is recommended that Transmission runs under it’s own username for security reasons. This creates a few issues with file and folder access by Transmission as well as your account (let us assume it is user). You will have to create a new set of folders for Transmission to read/write/execute (example: transmission folder containing these subfolders: completed, incomplete, and torrents). The account mario also needs full control over these folders and their contents. I recommend reading this post <http://linuxplained.com/safely-change-primary-group-group-in-linux/>to familiarize yourself with safely changing user groups and permissions." First, cd to the desired folder and create a folder for Transmission to use: cd /home/user/Downloads mkdir transmission cd transmission mkdir completed incomplete torrents Then, add the username to the group debian-transmission: sudo usermod -a -G debian-transmission user This will add debian-transmission as a secondary group to the account user, resulting in access to both Transmission and user. Then, change the ownership of the Transmission download folders to the group debian-transmission: sudo chgrp -R debian-transmission /home/user/Downloads/transmission Next, change the permissions for the transmission download folders to allow read, write, and execute for Transmission and mario: sudo chmod -R 775 /home/user/Downloads/transmission
