Web Interface

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

Once you have set it up, you can open a web browser and direct it to ​http://127.0.0.1:9091/transmission/web (replace 127.0.0.1 with the IP where Transmission is running, 9091 is the default port).

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 its 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 daemon will 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
