MLDONKEY change download directory
MLDONKEY is installed in /var/lib/mldonkey/ on debian/ubuntu.
And Shares are made relative to the installation directory
shared incoming/files incoming/directories
For example /var/lib/mldonkey/incoming/files
But we may want to change that.
/home/user/.mldonkey
So we create directories:
mkdir /home/user/.mldonkey mkdir /home/user/.mldonkey/shared mkdir /home/user/.mldonkey/incoming mkdir /home/user/.mldonkey/incoming/files mkdir /home/user/.mldonkey/incoming/directories
But remember that mldonkey app runs on user mldonkey, for safety.
So we have to grant permission to access those directories.
sudo chown -R user:mldonkey /home/user/.mldonkey
Now we go to mldonkey’s interface:
http://localhost:4080
and in [Options] [Share] we add through [Add Share] the following configuration:
0 /home/user/.mldonkey/shared all_files 0 /home/user/.mldonkey/incoming/files incoming_files 0 /home/user/.mldonkey/incoming/directories incoming_directories
and we [Unshare] previous shared directories.
And that’s it.
