Nexus 7 (ANDROID)

Anyone know if there is a way to manage Transmission Add on (ReadyNAS Ultra 2) remotely from an Android OS on a Nexus 7?

Tried Transdriod?

Thanks. I had a look but it looks like it is for Ubuntu and windows, rather than transmission on a nas.

Did you actually try it?

Transmission uses a standard method for remote control and thus the remote control program would not care what the underlying OS (or Linux flavor) is. It seems to me that you mistake the ADDITIONAL guides for some torrents clients on some OS's (and Linux flavors) as limitations of the applications, which is just wrong. Just because that person does have a guide for installing Transmission on every possible OS and every possible flavor of Linux does not mean it can't communicate with other installations.

The only way that those would not work is if they (ReadyNAS) did something to their packaging so that the standard methods for remote control does not work then we can't say what will work, since every tool we know of use the standard methods.

no - I read the site and it looked like it was not the right thing, I will try it then - thanks

installed it, but can't work out how to set upo exactly and the guides I can find are for setting up from computers running client, not NAS.
Thanks anyway.

You are getting hung up on it being a NAS, since in most cases that hardly matters when in regards to configuring the services it's capable to provide. A NAS is just a special-purpose built computer, and in regard to Transmission they will be running the daemon version.

And just to reiterate, it won't matter what version (client daemon) of Transmission you are running, they all communicate in the same way.

For the daemon you can start here: https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/EditConfigFiles
