Just wondering if anyone has got this functioning.

What I want to do is to be able to access Transmission remotely.
What I thought I should do is to use the Apache directive
ProxyPass /foo http://nasip:1234/

I tried putting that into /etc/httpd.conf but that seemed to break the web server (a little).

Just wondering if I have the right idea or am I way off?

Thanks

why not just use transmission remote gui ?

Because I can't do that from my phone.
Generally what I was doing before was accessing the web interface of the NS2 while on bus home / whatever to kick off the download which is then ready when I get home.
I could probably just do it by punching a second hole in my firewall, but I was just wondering if there was a way of doing it that was cleaner. ProxyPass seemed a reasonable approach.
Its no biggie really if it doesn't work.

I see, by why need a proxy or use apache ?
Just redirecting port 9091 on the WAN site of your router to the NS2 in your LAN should enable you to access the webinterface of transmission from the internet.
(http://nas-ip:9091)

Maybe (I am not sure), you must also change this options in the settings json file :

Code: Select all

rpc-whitelist: String (Comma-delimited list of IP addresses. Wildcards allowed using '*'. Example: "127.0.0.*,192.168.*.*", Default: "127.0.0.1" )

:mrgreen: nope it is already set when installing transmission configuration file for first time use
Here a copy of that line in the settings.json file

Code: Select all

    "rpc-whitelist": "127.0.0.*,*.*.*.*",

basically it allows any IP address to connect with this setting
