you do not have permission to write to this directory


Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm on Raspberry PI 4 with Resilio installed.  I'm trying to set the default directory to an existing directory on a non boot drive.  I get an error message you do not have permission to write to this directory.  I've chmod 777 the directory but no change.  Sorry if this is a newb question but I'm not sure what else to do.  Thanks.

chmod 777 is almost never a good solution, you might not fully fix your current permission problems, and you would introduce more security issues.

Use ps -ef to find out which user is running rslsync, then sudo chown -R <theuser:thegroup> to the problematic folders, and restart rslsync.
