Using Transmission-remote from Terminal

Post by rale09 »

Hey everyone,

I'd like to use Transmission's command line interface via Terminal (for shell scripting purposes), but I can't seem to make it work on Mac. Initially I thought that it was somehow bundled with the application itself, but after a bit of reading, I realized I need to download the source code and build it in Xcode. I managed to do all that (even though I am absolutely unfamiliar with Xcode), but I don't know what to do with the result:

I think I should look for transmission-daemon, transmissioncli, or transmission-remote (these appear in Xcode, but not in Finder after succesfully building the release). Could anyone enlighten me about what to do next?

Right, and how should I do that? :? Here's a screenshot, maybe you can point me in the right direction:

Btw I already found the build directory which I assume you posted the link for, the problem is that the daemon just isn't there :D

Got it! I added it in Build Phases / Target Dependencies in case anyone is wondering :) Then I copied transmission-remote to usr/local/bin, and it seems to work. I tried it by setting up a global upload limit via Terminal and it shows up in the GUI just fine :)
