qBittorrent official forums

Hi, folks !

I'd need to change the umask that qbittorrent use to store downloads.

Is there a way to do it?

Thanx a lot in advance !!

Not sure, can you specify umask as an option to command line?

It's not recommended to run it (or anything unnecessarily) as root if that was the underlying question.

OK, i'll have a look

Not r00t it's a seedbox

I have different users for running qbittorrent and for downloading what's already downloaded via qbittorrent to local pcs via FTP. So i need some specific mask for allowing FTP user to delete files once downloaded to it's local PC. Just modify the 022 to, for example 007. Only the user who runs qbittorrent ( and who own the files downloaded via qbittorrent ) and the user who download these files to it's local PC can access this directory and it's files

I can have a look at command line arguments to see if something fits

Thanx a lot !!

Did you ever find an solution for your problem kaskade?

I have the same issue

As far as I know, qbittorrent stores the files with the owner of it's daemon. You can change that in the init-Skript.

And the umask is something with has nothing to do with a process, but with the folder. So you set it for the download folder..

Well I wanted guest write access, the parent directory has this setup but the downloaded directory doesn't inherent. But I solved it by using samba force user on the share
