transmission-remote unauthorized

Post by ZaPHoN »

Been all over the net and looked at wiki but can't seem to figure this one out.

I'm using transmission-daemon, transmission, common and transmission-cli on Ubuntu 11.10

I've been having a lot of trouble getting transmission-daemon to work with a few different scripts. For some reason the scripts can't connect to transmission-remote and nor can I through terminal.

I do shut down the daemon before doing anything.
Script will partially work when I tell it to use transmission-daemon instead of transmission-remote.
transmission-remote -l
Unexpected response: <h1>401: Unauthorized</h1>Unauthorized User
and
transmission-remote --auth username:password -l
Unexpected response: <h1>401: Unauthorized</h1>Unauthorized User

ps aux | grep transmission-daemon
115 5732 0.2 0.2 36984 5924 ? Ssl 13:27 0:05 /usr/bin/transmission-daemon --config-dir /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info
mario 5971 0.0 0.0 5672 756 pts/1 S+ 14:10 0:00 grep --color=auto transmission-daemon

Adding torrents and downloads seem to be working fine
debian-transmission group has been added to the <user> account mario
whitelist is disabled
webui does work
script and folder have been chmod 775 along with directories "incomplete" and "completed"
