cant view downloaded folders/files

[darkromz]

running sabnzbd on synology DS111

when i ftp to the box i see the following folders

/public/SABnzbd/downloads/complete
/public/SABnzbd/downloads/incomplete

However no files can be seen. I then connected using ssh user name admin and found i couldnt get to the full path, so i logged out and logged in using the user root, i was then able to look in the above folders and see then downloaded file, i'm guessing this is something to do with the ownership, is there any way to change this?

Or have the files download to a removable drive? which i can plug into the synology box?

You should keep "incomplete" locally.
The final path can be set to an external drive,
but you should always use a path as seen from inside the NAS.
(So something like /mount/drive/path).

Hi, please excuse my ignorance as i have vertualy no experience with linix, and only used sabnzbd before today on my windows latop.

The problem correct me if i am wrong is that the files/folders are created by the root user, and outside of ssh i dont have the option to view files as a root user. So when i connect via ftp, synology, media station or any other program i cant see anything within the complete or incomplete folders.

When i was running sabnzbd on my windows laptop i had the same folders, but i could see everything within them folders that waws created as a result of downloading nzb's

It is possible to run SABnzbd as another user.
If you want to know more, go to the Ubuntu support section on this forum.

I've spent the last couple of hours looking but the problem i have is i dont know what i am looking for. I see the main folders sabnzbd has created, complete and incomplete, but i cant understand why i cant see the files within those folders.

can anyone else point me in the right direction

I am having the same problem. I've changed my downloads folder several times and the files within the /complete are invisible and the files in the /incomplete are visible. When I ssh into the server the files can be seen, but not via my finder. Anyone have a clue?

OK I found out how you can read them via finder. SSH into your nas and type the following
# chmod -R 777 directory-name/

Make sure that the permission in sabnzbd match that.
