I have an FTP server mounted with curlftpfs. But when I try to download torrent with Transmission to the mounted folder it gives me an error: "torrent name" tr_fdFileCheckout failed for "file path" Operation not supported (inout.c:101) Transmission-daemon has root permissions, folder is mounted by root.

  • This isn’t a permissions issue but instead a file system issue. The way torrents work is fundamentally incompatible with things like curlftpfs. –  Dec 21 '20 at 22:26
  • So there is no way to use ftp server for torrents? – maximxls Dec 22 '20 at 04:57
  • There is no easy way to use a curlftpfs file system with torrents in the manner you've specified, no. If you really must do things like this, it would make much more sense to download the torrent to an ext4 device, then have Transmission write the file to the curlftpfs location after it's complete. However, there are a bunch of caveats that you'll need to consider when doing this, as you're going to be using a boatload of bandwidth with your setup. –  Dec 22 '20 at 05:02
