How to create torrent from scpecific folder on server?

[romagromov]

Hi!
I have installed transmission on debian server and it works perfect (downloading).

How I can create torrent from scpecific folder on server?

For example, I need to created torrent for file:

var/www/userfolder/data/www/mysite.com/downloads/graphics/dizine/astron_install.exe

I tried command

Code: Select all

transmission-create var/www/userfolder/data/www/mysite.com/downloads/graphics/dizine/astron_install.exe
 -t udp://tracker.example.com:80

but it displays error

Creating torrent "/root/astron_install.exe.torrent" ...[20:01:50.016] Torrent Creator is skipping file "/root/var": No such file or directory
. error reading "": No such file or directory

Thanks.

[romagromov]

Oh, thanks.
Where I can find created torrent file?

[romagromov]

Ok, I found this file in root folder - astron_install.exe.torrent
I downloaded it and added to Utorrent.
And file not downloading.

[romagromov]

var/www/userfolder/data/www/mysite.com/downloads/graphics/dizine/astron_install.exe

Try using a full path that starts with a '/'.

Ok, I understand my mistake,

I have created torrnet file using this command

Code: Select all

transmission-create /var/www/userfolder/data/www/mysite.com/downloads/graphics/dizine/astron_install.exe
 -t udp://tracker.example.com:80

I found torrent file in root folder on server.

But How I can begin to seed with transmission?

I have web version on server http://x.x.xx.xx:9091/transmission/web/

When I add created torrent to transmission - impossible to download...



And it is clear, I need to seed before.

How I can seed in web version?

[romagromov]

There is no option "Move Data File To in" web version

Please, see this short video with steps I made.

[romagromov]

I can't put the data in download location, file sources should be placed in /var/www/userfolder/data/www/mysite.com/downloads/
How I can set location?
Web transmission does not have this option.

[romagromov]

May be I'm idiot, but I can't find option "Move Data File To"

Can you make screenshot?

[romagromov]

My server support said that I have the latest version for Debian...

Transmission 2.52 (13304)

Is there a version 2.54 for Debian?
If yes, how I can update transmission?

[romagromov]

Thanks.

I have installed latest version, but it does not have menu item "Set Location"

[romagromov]

Oh, thanks.
Now torrent displays with green color - it's mean that It began to seed.
Next step - checking if this torrent will work in users clients.
I downloaded torrent file and open in os x client.
File was downloaded succesfull
But it displays as inactive



I tried it on windows - same issue




So, all torrent clients, that downloadede this torrent does not seeding.
On transmission on my server seeding.


Then, I have created new torrent, located data - all ok.
But when I added torrent to os x client - file not loading.




And next question.
Why web vesrion does not have option to create torrents (from local folder)?
Why users should use terminal for this?
