Hi,
Can someone please outline the steps to enable transmission to upload new torrents

from what I read I should be able to use the transmission-create command line to create new torrents, but the command is unknown.
Tried to install the package "pkg install transmission-cli" but that too comes back with error - no such package

Code:
root@freenas ~]# pkg upgrade                                                  
Updating local repository catalogue...                                        
pkg: file:///usr/ports/packages/meta.txz: No such file or directory            
repository local has no meta file, using default settings                      
pkg: file:///usr/ports/packages/packagesite.txz: No such file or directory

d in the repositories                                                          
root@freenas ~]#


Don't want to install another client for this if I can avoid it so anyone that really knows how to get this feature up and running, please let me know!

cheers

Are you doing that in a jail or on the freenas system?

Tried both - both return the same error
At the moment transmission-create is missing so I recon I need to install the package - but that don't seem to work

The other reply mentioned "install missing port" - no idea what port that could be missing - transmission is up and running and works fine - Just not able to create my own torrent

Update: hmm, tried it again from within the transmission jail and the pkg install now seem to work - will see if I can use the -create torrent command once its downloaded

Update 2: Yep - Command now available

cheers
