Transmission on Cubieboard

1. sudo apt-get install transmission

2.  Shutdown
$ sudo /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon stop

3. sudo vi /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon/settings.json

Do these things in the exact order:

Shutdown first.

Write the rpc-password in the /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json file, in double-quotes.

Save that fileStartup: /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon startLogin to the page, it's at port 9091Type in your password.

The password that's being overwritten is a hash.
The program is smarter than usual and detects that your password is not a hash, so it overwrites the password with the hash to be secure. So your password should work.

However, remember that it writes the password it loaded with when it shuts down. So doing/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon restart will not do what you expect if you've written the file while it's running.
