Web Interface

The Web Interface is a web-based frontend to most Transmission clients (eg. the daemon, GTK client and the Mac client, but not the cli).

To Enable

• Make sure you have the files installed in the correct location
• To turn on the Web Interface:
  • Enable rpc / Web Interface in the GUI
  • Set it in the config file

Note: the daemon always has the rpc / Web Interface turned on.

Locations

Mac OS X Defaults

The Mac GUI packages the Web Interface in it's application bundle. So there is no need to manually install or update the bundle.

If you do want to use a custom Web Interface use the environment variable. eg.:

$ export TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME=/path/to/web/files
$ open -a Transmission

Linux Defaults

The Linux wil look for the Web Interface files in:

1. $TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME, if the environment variable is set
2. $XDG_DATA_HOME/transmission/web, if ​XDG environment variables are set by the system
3. $HOME/.local/share/transmission/web
4. /usr/local/share/transmission/web
5. /usr/share/transmission/web
