Re: Where is Transmission installed on Ubuntu
There's several commands to find where the binary is when you have the program available from the terminal, usually `which` works as expected.

Re: Where is Transmission installed on Ubuntu
The easiest is probably to use https://packages.ubuntu.com/ to find the particular package and view the list of its files, e.g. https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/amd64 ... n/filelist. Other options could be googled as well, e.g. https://superuser.com/questions/82923/h ... ut-install
What do you actually need this information for?
P.S. `which` command takes an executable name, and "transmission" isn't that. You need to pass one of transmission-{daemon,gtk,qt,remote,edit,show,create,cli} instead, i.e. `which transmission-daemon`. Note that this will show you the path to that executable (if found), not other flies like settings.json.

I have all my torrents 1.8 TB on an external HD. I have to move the HD to another same version Ubuntu system. I would like to not have to re verify all the files over again.
Re: Where is Transmission installed on Ubuntu
Run `transmission-remote -si` to get session information which will contain "Configuration directory:" line in "CONFIG" section; that's where Transmission stores all its information about your torrents and their progress, and where your configuration file (settings.json) is located. If you're using the daemon, it'll most probably be something like "/var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon" (judging by the second link in my message above); if you're using GTK or Qt client then it's usually "$HOME/.config/transmission".

Great help. I found my config files in the $HOME dir. So ... I just copy the contents of this dir to the the new system? At least I remembered how to find hidden files lol.
