    3 Transmission is fundamentally a Bit Torrent client. Beyond that Transmission comes in several different products based around a common core [wiki:libTransmission].
     3Transmission is fundamentally a Bit Torrent client and communicates with other Bit Torrent peers.
     4In addition to this Transmission supports network-based remote control, whereby an authorised user may control the Transmission core from another machine via the [wiki:rpc Transmission JSON RPC protocol].
     5To make remote control easier from an arbitrary machine, Transmission Core can also serve a javascript web application to any browser and which in turn makes JSON RPC calls back to the Transmission core.

    5 The different transmission products are:
    6  * Transmission-Desktop
    7    * Mac OS X version
    8    * Linux/GTK+ version
    9    * Qt version
    10  * Transmission-Server
    11  * Transmission-Web
    12  * Transmission-Commandline
     7The Core components and methods of control are shown below:

    14 As well as being a Bit Torrent client, Transmission also supports remote control - whereby an authorised user may control the Transmission client from another machine using either web browser or command line interfaces.
    15 The different control combinations are shown below:

     11From the above diagram it can be seen that a Transmission Core may be controlled by the following:
     12 * ''Local'' directly linked GUI (OS X, GTK+)
     13 * ''Local'' or ''Remote'' Qt GUI
     14 * ''Local'' or ''Remote'' Command Line Utility
     15 * ''Local'' or ''Remote'' Transmission Web Application running in a web browser
     16
     17The multiple methods of controlling Transmission and the various native GUIs available result in several different Transmission products as shown in the figure below:

     21The products are:
     22 * Transmission Desktop - OS X
     23 * Transmission Desktop - Linux/GTK+
     24 * Transmission Desktop - Un*x/Qt
     25 * Transmission Server (headless)
     26 * Transmission Command Line
     27
     28The Transmission packages available on various distributions may include one or more of these components.
     29Note. Although the diagram shows "Transmission Desktop Qt" as being Qt GUI + Transmission Core, the Qt component may be packaged on its own as a purely remote tool.
