There are no necessary rights on the mounted disk when using samba and transmission packages

Samba is running under root and create files with root permission which transmission user (non-root) cannot write

Transmission - permission issue?

hello. I have also encountered similar. The reason is the rights of the mounted partition. There is a solution - it is to create a folder on /dev/sda*/foo and write the command chown -R transmission foo. Then the download will go fine.

What are the dir permissions on /mnt/sda1

Transmission - permission issue?

not only the resolution of the file, but also the folder. That is, in my example, the disk is mounted on sda5 with root rights. Accordingly, the transmission package cannot upload a file to this directory due to lack of rights. But when creating a folder and changing the rights to user (transmission). then the file upload works.

If it's about permissions, then it's not a transmission or samba issue

@fakemanhk

So this is basically a config issue rather than software bug.

I agree, there seems to be no bug. The OP edited permissions for Transmission, and cause a Samba issue while doing so.
