Now you should have newest 4. Restart Transmission client.Service
service amahi-transmission restart
= How 5. Next, we need to add a password to Transmission Web Client =make sure that the cronjob that automatically loads torrents from the torrents share uses the same user authentification.
* (Amahi 6) Edit '''/etc/cron.d/amahi-transmission-watch''' and change the following:
NOTE */5 * * * * transmission transmission-remote localhost: Do all tasks as ROOT9091 -a /var/hda/files/torrents/*.torrent && rm -f /var/hda/files/torrents/*.torrent
:: add "--auth [username]:[password]" so the line becomes: */5 * * * * transmission transmission-remote localhost:9091 --auth [username]:[password] -a /var/hda/files/torrents/*.torrent && rm -f /var/hda/files/torrents/*.torrent * (Amahi 7) Edit '''/usr/share/transmission/torrentwatch.sh''' and change the following: /usr/bin/transmission-remote localhost:9091 -a "$file" :: add "--auth [username]:[password]" so the line becomes: /usr/bin/transmission-remote localhost:9091 --auth [username]:[password] -a "$file" * The username and password are the ones you entered as rpc-username and rpc-password. Now navigate to web address and input information and you're all set! = Change Downloaded Files Permissions = By default, transmission sets the file permissions of downloaded files so that only the transmission user can write to the downloaded files and folders. To change this, modify the settings as follows: 1. Stop the transmission server from the Amahi Control Panel. Be sure to disable the watchdog timer as well. 2. Edit '''/var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json''': vim /var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json 3. Find the line: '''umask: 18''', and change it to '''umask: 2'''. This will enable all users in the transmission group to also write to the file. 4. Restart transmission from the Amahi Control Panel (Settings/Servers/Transmission serviceServer/Restart) for the changes to take effect. Remember to check the watchdog timer as well. = Adding Transmission to users group = This prevents the "Error: permission denied /file_location/file_name" error when starting a torrent. <u>GUI method:</u> 1. Go to System -> Administration -> Users and Groups<br />2. Enter your root password<br />3. Click on Edit -> Preferences<br />4.

In the Groups tab find "users" and make sure it is checked.<br />7. Close all windows. <u>Terminal method: </u> 1. Open Terminal<br />2. Type sudo su -3. Enter your password<br />4. Type usermod -G users transmission5. Close Terminal
service amahi-transmission stop=Adding User To Transmission Group=
2You may run into a problem where even after adding transmission to the users group, that you cannot delete or modify files downloaded from Transmission. Edit If this happens, you can add the user(s) you want to modify the downloaded files by running the follow command as root replacing "admin" with the settings.json.user you want to add:
nano /var/lib/transmission/.config/ usermod -a -G transmission-daemon/settings.jsonadmin
3. Edit these fieldsNote: You need to stop the transmission-daemon service and watchdog before running the above command, and a restart of the server may be necessary, remembering just remember to restart the username service and passwordwatchdog first.
"rpc-authentication-required": true, "rpc-bind-address": "0.0.0.0", "rpc-enabled": true, "rpc-password": "[Insert wanted password]", "rpc-port": 9091, "rpc-username": "[Username wanted]", = Prevent Transmission Email Reports =
CTRLTransmission installs a cronjob that checks a preset folder every xx minutes for torrent files. If a torrent-X file is present it will automatically start the download for you and delete the torrent file. In some cases you might receive email reports when the folder is empty. You can edit the cronjob to savemake sure no reports are sent when the cronjob is run.
4* cronjob can be found at '''/etc/cron. Restart Transmission Serviced/amahi-transmission-watch'''
Service Amahi-Transmission start* Add '''>/dev/null 2>&1''' to the end all command lines and reports will not be sent in the future.
Next, we need to make sure that the cronjob that automatically loads torrents from the torrents share uses the same user authentification.= Transmission with HTTPS Trackers (Ubuntu) =
5Ubuntu 12. Edit 04 64bit currently suffers from [https:/etc/cronbugs.dlaunchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amahi-transmission-watchgnutls26/+bug/937537 this bug] in libgnutls26 which prevents Transmission communicating with SSL trackers. In order to fix this run the following commands.
6 wget <nowiki>http://ftp.uk.debian. Edit the following:*org/5 * * * * transmission transmission-remote localhost:9091 -a debian/varpool/hdamain/filesg/torrentsgnutls26/*libgnutls26_2.12.torrent && rm 20-f /var/hda/files/torrents1_amd64.deb</*.torrentnowiki>
