WebUI on my website

[ipedrolima]

Hello,

I'm running Transmission 2.31 (12441) on Mac OS 10.6 and I would like to use a domain like http://mydomain.com/transmission instead of http://myip:9091/webui to remotely access the interface. I've managed to set up a html file with a frame redirecting to my webui but still, it makes my ip vulnerable. Can it be done?

Thanks

Yes, and its been discussed several times in the forum, one is Redirecting to port 80.

You don't need a file, but to change the configuration of your Web server. How its changed depends on the Web server.

Doing it through a separate web server is usually know as "the hard way". You could change the port of transmission itself from 9091 to 80. Doing port forwarding from a router is usually the simplest option.

Though proxy'ing through a web server is a bit more tricky to get going mainly because of Transmission's CSRF HTTP/409's that sometimes drop out of the sky it usually is the better option imho.

It allows you to make Transmission RPC only accessible to the web server (if it's the same system 127.0.0.1 will do) and still be able to use any remote client.

Even better, it allows you so use SSL to access transmission that way (SSL is offloaded on the web server) so your credentials aren't sent plain-text over the wire.
