I Raspberry Pi 2 as a Torrent Box. I recently attach to it an external usb HDD formatted in NTFS. I can download successfully any file in the hardisk but when I try to connect to my Raspberry with Filezilla and trying to download file stored in the external disk I got this error message:

Code: Select all

 error while reading: received failure with description 'Failure'
 Transfer Failed

I also run the command

Code: Select all

df -h

to see how much free space I have and this is the output:

Code: Select all

    tmpfs            93M     0     93M   0% /run/user/1000

I don't have any problem with the space.
The permissions of the folder are given recursively and are:

Code: Select all

drwxrwxrwx  1 root root 4096 dic 16 17:30 external-hardisk

So, what is the problem?
