Hello,
I have motion working on various Pi units. The only question is how to set
the file permissions on the video files.
http://lavrsen.dk/foswiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome
[image: ScreenHunter 140.jpg]
Currently it writes the files as
Owner (motion) Read Write
Group Read
Other Read
I would like the file to be saved as 777 (all read/write).
I have a ftp/sftp app that I can ftp into the raspberrypi using pi as a
login. I am able to see and play the files but can't delete them using this
app because they belong to "motion" and are rw r r.
To remove these files, I use putty, login in as pi, su root then delete the
files.
thanks

Can you not run motion under the user pi?
How are you starting motion?
