DESCRIPTION
transmission-daemon is a daemon-based Transmission session that can be controlled via RPC commands from transmission's web interface or transmission-remote1.OPTIONS
- -a --allowed x.x.x.x,...
- Allow RPC access to a comma-delimited whitelist of IP addresses. Wildcards can be specified in an address by using '*'. Default: "127.0.0.1" Example: "127.0.0.*,192.168.1.*"
- -b --blocklist
- Enable peer blocklists. Transmission understands the bluetack blocklist file format. New blocklists can be added by copying them into the config-dir's "blocklists" subdirectory.
- -c directory
- Directory to watch for new .torrent files to be added. As they are added to this directory, the daemon will load them into Transmission.
- -C
- Do not watch for new .torrent files.
- -B --no-blocklist
- Disble blocklists.
- -d
- Dump transmission-daemon's settings to stderr.
- -f --foreground
- Run in the foreground and print errors to stderr.
- -g --config-dir directory
- Where to look for configuration files. This can be used to swap between using the cli, daemon, gtk, and qt clients. See trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/ConfigFiles for more information.
- -er --encryption-required
- Encrypt all peer connections.
- -ep --encryption-preferred
- Prefer encrypted peer connections.
- -et --encryption-tolerated
- Prefer unencrypted peer connections.
- -gsr --global-seedratio ratio
- All torrents, unless overridden by a per-torrent setting, should seed until a specific ratio
- -GSR --no-global-seedratio
- All torrents, unless overridden by a per-torrent setting, should seed regardless of ratio
- -h --help
- Print command-line option descriptions.
- --incomplete-dir dir
- When adding new torrents, store their contents in directory until the torrent is done.
- --no-incomplete-dir
- Don't store incomplete torrents in a different directory.
- -i --bind-address-ipv4
- Listen for IPv4 BitTorrent connections on a specific address. Only one IPv4 listening address is allowed. Default: 0.0.0.0 (All addresses)
- -I --bind-address-ipv6
- Listen for IPv6 BitTorrent connections on a specific address. Only one IPv6 listening address is allowed. Default: :: (All addresses)
- -r --rpc-bind-address
- Listen for RPC connections on a specific address. This must be an IPv4 address. Only one RPC listening address is allowed. Default: 0.0.0.0 (All addresses)
- --paused
- Pause all torrents on startup
- -L --peerlimit-global limit
- Overall peer limit. Useful on embedded systems where the default might be unsuitable. Default: 240
- -l --peerlimit-torrent limit
- Peer limit per torrent. Useful on embedded systems where the default might be unsuitable. Default: 60
- -m --portmap
- Enable portmapping via NAT-PMP or UPnP
- -M --no-portmap
- Disable portmapping
- -o --dht
- Enable distributed hash table (DHT).
- -O --no-dht
- Disable distribued hash table (DHT).
- -p --port port
- Port to open and listen for RPC requests on. Default: 9091
- -P, -peerport port
- Port to listen for incoming peers on. Default: 51413
- -t --auth
- Require clients to authenticate themselves. This doesn't do much good unless username and password are also set.
- -T --no-auth
- Don't require authentication from clients.
- -u --username username
- Used for client authentication.
- -v --password password
- Used for client authentication.
- -V --version
- Show version number and exit
- --utp
- Enable uTP for peer connections.
- --no-utp
- Disable uTP for peer connections.
- -w --download-dir
- Where to store downloaded data.
- -e --logfile
- Where to store transmission's log messages.
- --log-error
- Show error messages
- --log-info
- Show error and info messages
- --log-debug
- Show error, info, and debug messages
