Get Rid off the user files, tuser is going to become an sftp user.
# rm /data/tuser/.bash* # rm /data/tuser/.profile
Add the sftp-server shell to /etc/shells
# echo '/usr/lib/stfp-server' >> /etc/shells
Make sure that the following exists in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
#grep sftp /etc/ssh/sshd_config Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-serverIf not, add it.
Test the sftp server and the tuser account.
# echo "blahblahtest" > /data/tuser/blah # chown tuser.tuser /data/tuser/blah
Log in to the sftp server from another host in the network.

Install transmission-daemon.
# apt-get install transmission-daemon
Configure transmission-daemon
# mkdir /data/tuser/torrents # mkdir /data/tuser/torrents/incomplete # usermod -a -G debian-transmission tuser # chown -R tuser.debian-transmission /data/tuser/torrents/ # chmod -R 775 /data/tuser/torrents/
# cp /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json.0 # vi /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.jsonYou will have to change at least "rpc-password" , "incomplete-dir" , "download-dir" ,
"incomplete-dir-enabled" and "rpc-whitelist-enabled" xor "rpc-whitelist"
To reload the transmission-daemon configuration file.
# invoke-rc.d transmission-daemon reload
Test it by logging in http://host:9091.
ooups ...
it says something about no permissions when I am trying to open-upload a torrent file.
# chmod 775 /data/tuser/torrents/ # chmod 775 /data/tuser/torrents/incomplete
Test again.
OK, it works.
If the transmission daemon sits on a host in your LAN you may want to use samba ,
samba on debian based systems
Torrent daemon and file server linux debian
