To allow clients to connect to the transmission daemon using DNS with
|
|
any hostname other than localhost, do one of the following:
|
|
- Enable password authentication, then any hostname is allowed.
|
|
This can be achieved by either:
|
|
- setting rpc-authentication-required to true, and adding
|
|
credentials to the rpc-username and rpc-password fields in
|
|
settings.json (must be done whilst the transmission service is
|
|
stopped); or
|
|
- running transmission-daemon with the following arguments
|
|
(these can be set with transmission_flags in /etc/rc.conf):
|
|
-t -u USERNAME -v PASSWORD
|
|
OR
|
|
- Add the allowed server hostnames to the rpc-host-whitelist setting
|
|
in settings.json (must be done whilst the transmission service is
|
|
stopped). Note that this value is NOT a list of allowed CLIENTS,
|
|
but instead a list of allowed SERVER hostnames.
