I have just installed transmission on my server which runs Ubuntu desktop. I have no issue with downloading files and so forth, but would like to keep a terminal window open on my work computer where I can see how far download have come.
Currently I do this with transmission-remote -n 'user:pwd' -l
, but this just outputs the current status for the torrents at that given second. I would like a similar list, but one that keeps updating so I don't have to type the above command all the time.
Anyone know a way to do this? I saw a guy do it with this cmd: transmission-remote-cli
.. but i don't have that.. I have transmission-cli
but I can't get it to work as the guy with used transmission-remote-cli
did.
Hope somebody can help 🙂

There is no option to constantly monitor the status of
transmission-daemon
usingtransmission-cli
, it's just not a tool made for that.transmission-remote-cli
on the other hand works very well for that. Do you have a specific reason to not install it?You would be able to connect to the daemon simply by running:
Or in case you enabled authentication on the daemon:
Otherwise, yet another option would be connecting to the daemon using the web interface by visiting:
Obviously
host
andport
in the above commands / URL are to be replaced with the host and the port of the server running the daemon.
