Did you restart aMule?
Does aMule (or at least the user running it) have enought permissions to write there?

Something in the log?

Thanks for your reponse.

- Yes, i restarted immediately aMule as mentionned by the warning.

- I don't know if the permissions are fine.
 (I can manually put a file in this folder)
 (aMule has no problem with the Temp folder "/media/Data/home/aMule/Temp".)
 (I have to give my password to mount the partition "Data")

- The log don't mention any problem with the directory.

Is it a NTFS partition?

No, it is a ext4 partition.

If i put a file in "/media/Data/home/aMule/Incoming" it is shared.
Both directories are shared.

Did you type the text or use the browse button?
Are you using aMule or amulegui?

- I use the graphical interface (= amulegui ?)

- I don't remember how i wrote the directory.
==> I use the browse button, then restarted, the bug still happened.
==> Another test, I have deleted the "/media/Data/home/aMule/Incoming" directory, then i used the browse button, Inside it i created a "Downloaded" folder in place. I wait.... 3 downloads finished. One file went to the standart incoming folder, the 2 others went to "/media/Data/home/aMule/Downloaded".

I see only one difference between the 2.
Is it possible that the destination folder is individualy assigned when the file is added to the download list ?

amule is the graphical client, amulegui is a remote control usually used together with amuled (which looks just like amule). Which of the two are you using?

Ah - you are using categories, right? Changing the incoming folder works only for files not assigned to a cat, because each cat has its own incoming folder. You have to change the folder for each cat individually.
