Qt client should remember whether it was connected to the remote last time you used it, and do exactly what you expect next time you start it. As for starting it with the system - just google it, e.g. http://www.howto-connect.com/windows-10 ... t-startup/

I know this is extremely late but incase anyone was wondering about this for future reference.

Open up the following file in a text editor.

Code: Select all

%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\transmission\settings.json
Lines 48-54 for me are following:
by default they are:

Code: Select all

"remote-session-enabled": false,
"remote-session-host": "localhost",
"remote-session-password": "",
"remote-session-port": 9091,
"remote-session-requres-authentication": false,
"remote-session-username": "",

Code: Select all

"remote-session-enabled": true,
"remote-session-host": "mywebserver.com",
"remote-session-password": "mypassword",
"remote-session-port": 9091,
"remote-session-requres-authentication": true,
"remote-session-username": "username",
Doing this will make transmission automatically open and connect without any prompts to your local or remote server.
