Using Slackware.
Apparently my web browsers don't have permission to save files. Firefox has been silently failing to download. Konqueror says something like "permission denied" when I try to start a download. I know I can run the browser as root to get around this but that would be very risky behavior. What's the right way to set the appropriate permissions.
Searching the forum for an answer before posting I found the below comment that seems to relate to a similar problem, and seemed to be accepted as an answer. I was unable to decipher it.
i got de soln
system->administration->ntfs configuration tool...
check de boxes in both adv.config and normal.....
its works for me....
thanks...
I was able to use wget. I cannot use slackpkg because either the command isn't in the default directories or it's not installed.
How can I let Firefox, Konqueror, and other browsers download?
