settings.json file is re-written by restarting the service

Post by peter.mezei »

Hi,

I have installed transmission on my windows server, and I want to enable the remote connection on it. Before it I did it a few times on Ubuntu Linux.
I found the settings.json file here: C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\transmission-daemon

I edited it, and restarted the transmission-daemon service. After restart I surprisingly experienced, that the edited settings.json file is restored to default, my changes lost.

Do you have any advice?

Thank you in advance,
Peter.

I didnt see this behavior because since I installed Daemon I changed the account on the service. I didnt find the settings.json using Local Service account hahaha

So after that my settings.json was placed to AppData\Local of my user. Then I was able to set the confgs by Notepad++
