Error selecting directory
Closed this issue · 6 comments
Hello,
when selecting a Download directory I get the following Error:
Selected directory should be inside mounted directory
Tremotesf running on windows machine, transmission-daemon running on linux server.
Linux mount point /mnt/NAS is mounted on Windows PC as N:\.
My settings look like this:
Am I doing something wrong?
It should be other may around. Remote directory is the directory on a machine where Transmission is running (N:\ in your case), local directory is where it is mounted on a machine where Tremotesf is running (/mnt/NAS).
Like this not working either:
Please help.
The slash was the problem. Like this it works.
The slash is added automatically when adding a directory with the "+ Add" button.
@equeim you may want to consider fixing it 😉
It can also happen when having a network path in "Local" and inputting a Windows drive by hand in "Remote". I'm used to adding backslash, but this does not work. It should really parse backslash for Windows drives, as it's functionally identical whether it's added or not.
Another directory issue so I'll add it right here:
Having two entries, such as, for example,
//192.168.0.1/D mounted to D:
//192.168.0.1/E mounted to E:
Will make opening the path fail, even though this mapping accounts for all torrents properly. Removing one of the two makes the other one work properly again.
It should hopefully be fixed in the latest version
