Help: World not saving

[KrazyDiamond]

I created a tshock server on a Raspberry Pi 3, to host for a handful of friends. We already had a world we have been playing on.

I moved the world from a windows system to the raspberry pi ( /home/pi/.local/share/Terraria/Worlds/ ).

When running the server; the world does not save progress. It states "Saving world data: 100%" then stops there with no further information or progress and continues running. The world data is not saved, however, as notable on a reload.

This is in contrast to using a world generated by the pi itself, where saving the world will continue past "Saving world data: 100%" and further validate the world save, backup the world file, and provide a "World Saved." line.

When moving the world to root, and running sudo to launch the server, it DOES save correctly. This tells me it must be some form of permissions issue related to the world file moving from the Windows machine, or maybe a resulting permissions issue elsewhere in shock, again having resulted from the move.

How can I resolve this?

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2976183 Jun 25 17:06 frompc.wld
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 2934165 Jun 29 17:11 pitest.wld
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12119401 Jun 24 15:01 TerriBois_Fallacy.wld

I've noticed this comes up when running "ls -l" and the notable piece seems to be the files moved from windows to the raspberry pi OS have [root root]. It's been awhile since I've brushed up on my Linux permissions but I'm sure it'll be a relatively easy fix now after I do some googling. If anyone can shed light that's always appreciated, otherwise I hope this helps anyone else who runs into this!

sudo chmod 644 [file.wld]

This changes the permissions to match that of the world files the tshock server creates.

sudo chown pi:pi [file.wld]

This changes the ownership of the file to (user):(group), in this case pi user and pi group.

I'm sure this is second nature to some, but might help others who haven't dabbled with Linux permissions or ran into this issue with setting up or moving servers and worlds to Linux. Or people who are just rusty like me and didn't realize there was a permissions issue at first!
