Creating a new user

Post by bound4h »

I am using 1.92 and I believe I'm using the daemon (I've loaded it on my DNS-323 NAS and it is running). I can access it through http://NAS:9091 and I leave the username/pw blank.

Well, I am using some scripts that call the daemon and I am getting 401:Unauthorized User errors in the logs. Do I need to create a user for Transmission? If so, how? I can't seem to find it in the web GUI. Do I do this in the settings.json file?

This is ARM Linux, btw.

Thank you!

Ok, UPDATE:

I issued the command "transmission-daemon -f -g /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon -t -u <username> -v <password> -a 127.0.0.1,192.168.*.*" and entered a new username/pw and restarted the NAS. I checked the settings.json file and my new username/pw is there.

Now, when I try to run the torrentwatchdog.sh script, it says:

Code: Select all

[10:00:05.681] transmission-remote: (localhost:9091) Couldn't connect to server
When before, I could connect. I am logged in as root (via SSH), does the daemon need to be owned by the new user that I created? What am I doing wrong?
