Directory permissions

Post by macflan »

Hello,

I have freshly installed deluged/testing and deluge-web/testing on a Debian Jessie (so, v1.3.12-1).

I followed http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Inst ... ian/Jessie and then http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/User ... ce/systemd.

I'm having trouble figuring how to create custom folders for downloads (so far, I have only been able to save files in some directories under /var/lib/deluge/foobar with a 777 chmod).

As instructed in the guide above, I have created a system user and group called deluge.
deluged/testing and deluge-web/testing are started by this user.

I would like to create a series of directories (pending, completed,...) that can be read and written by every member of the deluge group and the (daemon/web-ui obviously).

What's the best way to achieve this ?

Where in the /tree should these directories be created (under /home/deluge/ ? if so, how do i create this directory given that a user with the deluge name has already been created without such directory) ?

Thank you in advance for your help.

MF
