Problem – no file access after torrent download.
How can I download my transfered files~
Files will get stored in folder /var/lib/transmission/Downloads, you can use SFTP client to connect to server and download the file.
I downloaded the torrents but I need a way to access them using a website
Not an sftp server
I want something simple like
http://192.162.1.22/downloads or http://192.162.1.22:81/downloads
something like a portal to redirect me to all my downloads that I can access anywhere
Please help me out…have looked allover the Internet
You can install a web server like apache or nginx on the server, set document root to downloads folder.
