SYNOPSIS

-words transmission-daemon -h
transmission-daemon [-a x.x.x.x,... ] [-b | B ] [-c directory ] [-C ] [-f ] [-g directory ] [-h ] [-p port ] [-t | T ] [-u username ] [-v password ] [-P port ] [-m | M ] [-l limit ] [-L limit ] [-er | ep | et ] [-V ] [-w download-dir ]

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.
-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 http://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.
-h --help: Print command-line option descriptions.
-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
-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
-w --download-dir: Where to store downloaded data.

ENVIRONMENT

TRANSMISSION_HOME: Sets the default config-dir.

FILES

~/.config/transmission-daemon: The config-dir used when neither [TRANSMISSION_HOME ] nor [-g ] is specified. See http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/ConfigFiles for more information.
