Setting up the transmission-daemon to access via web browser.
I have a server running Lucid Lynx and wanted to use it to download torrents which I can add via a web page from other PC’s and then track their progress. I decided to go with the default Torrent application in Ubuntu which is Transmission but needed the daemon version to run in the background.
First add the transmission-daemon package with;
$ sudo apt-get install transmission-daemon
Now stop the daemon so you can amend the config file with;
$ sudo /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon stop
Open the config file with;
$ sudo gedit /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
change settings in the config file called settings.json to your requirements;
The following will give you web access, and you may want to change the download folder paths;
«rpc-enabled»: true,
«rpc-password»: «a_password»,
«rpc-port»: 9091,
«rpc-username»: «your_name»,
«rpc-whitelist»: «*.*.*.*»,
rpc-password, add your password in plain text, the system will encrypt it…
