Autoload folder issues

[roddy194]

I have installed deluge on raspbian as a headless server with an external usb hard drive connected following http://www.howtogeek.com/142044/how-to- ... rrent-box/. I control it using the web ui and it connects fine. I have mounted the hard drive as /media/usbhdd1. I added /media/usbhdd1/torrents as the watch folder and /media/usbhdd1/downloads as the 'download to' folder but nothing seems to happen when I save a torrent file to the watch folder. I am new to linux so am I entering the wrong path or making a basic error? Let me know what extra info you need. Thanks.

I think this maybe due to permissions issues for the external NTFS drive. Does anyone know what command would grant permissions to deluge? Thanks in advance.

Have you tried chmod -R 777 on the folder?

Thanks for that but it's still not working. I tried sudo chmod 777 /media/usbhdd1 which didn't come back with any errors. I then used the web ui from an ipad to add the download and monitor folders but when I click apply/save it doesn't close the window. If I reload the page, the info is not saved. I could edit this info fine and close the window (retaining the info) before I ran the chmod command although it wouldn't pickup any torrents? Any ideas?
