Hi
XY problem? Maybe. So here is my original problem, which I don't want to resolve by sudoing.
Let me write it down as "Steps to reproduce"
1. install fresh MoodeAudio on a SD card
2. run Raspberry PI with that card and USB attached 2.5 HDD formatted with NTFS (Windows file system) with audio files on it.
3. configure MoodeAudio, let it scan the HDD
4. login via SSH onto PI with regular user credentials
5. try to manipulate files on USB disk - all are owned by root
6. configure SFTP or FTP or rsync server. All these services are hard to use when files on a NTFS USB HDD are owned by root...
Why I want the USB HDD to be formatted in NTFS? Because it is much easier to copy files between multiple systems (eg. I can take this HDD to my friend which uses Windows on his home computer and let him copy files from me and vice versa)
Best regards
