Hi all, I have just installed transmission-daemon on a remote headless ubuntu server that i rent with a mate.
I edited transmission-daemon/settings.json and changed my password and user name and also changed "rpc-whitelist": "127.0.0.1", to "rpc-whitelist": "*.*.*.*",. I can access it through my web browser with what i believe is clutch webui and also from my windows desktop with transmission-remote-gui.
Now i need to add my mate. I know i could create one universal setting so we both logged in with the same username and password but it would be good if i could give him his own username and password so he could log in remotely and download to his own directory. We previously installed the full transmission package and could both use it independantly over NX but that version closed when we closed nx. This version/set up doesn't but with this limited installation i have no way of seeing what to do to add him.
Before with the full package we could both have an icon and account but it stopped when we logged out of nx because there was no daemon running. It's working fine this time just i need to add him.
I tried adding an extra password/username to the file above but it didn't like it. I seemed to log in with the webui after a while even tho it threw out errors. was this because i didn't edit the file correctly? As soon as i removed his password and username it was fine again.
Please could anyone point me in the right direction to sort this or tell me if its not possible? Thanks =ChAoS=
Adding a user/password
Re: Adding a user/password
Transmission is not multi-user. You can't just add a user and password combination. Transmission-daemon would need to run on a different user account on the computer itself and it would need to be set up to use a different port so both can work at the same time.
