How to create a .torrent in transmission plugin

[rcdevils]

This is probably one of the most noobest questions ever, and I apologize in advance, but here I go.
I know the command is something like "transmission-create" in order to create a torrent but when ever i try transmission is not found as a command. how come?

transmission and its dependencies are installed in /usr/pbi/transmission-amd64/bin which isn't in the path for the jail. you could probably run command from there if you need.

Nope, couldn't find "transmission-create" command in there. Anyone has any idea where it's located? Or is it not included in this pbi (2.84)!?

are you sure that's the command? I would check with the transmission docs

Yes, that's the command.

Code:

$ transmission-create -h
Usage: transmission-create [options] <file|directory>

Options:
 -h --help              Display this help page and exit
 -p --private           Allow this torrent to only be used with the specified tracker(s)
 -o --outfile <file>    Save the generated .torrent to this filename
 -c --comment <comment> Add a comment
 -t --tracker <url>     Add a tracker's announce URL
 -V --version           Show version number and exit

based on this link it looks like that command is provided by the transmission-cli package. the plugin only packages transmission-daemon.

I think you should be safe to "pkg install transmission-cli"

I hate when people don't report back whether the solution offered worked or not.
If I'd put it mildly, it's impolite. Plainly, it's frecking rude.

It never worked for me. So I gave up and just mapped a network drive and used utorrent to create the torrent file (pointed at the network file/folder) and uploaded it to transmission.
