transmission-cli: Create a torrent file from a specific file or directory.
$ transmission-cli --new ${path-to-source_file_or_directory}
try on your machine
The command "transmission-cli --new ${path-to-source_file_or_directory}" is used to add a new torrent to the Transmission torrent client for downloading files. Here's how it works:
- "transmission-cli" is the command-line interface (CLI) tool for the Transmission BitTorrent client. It allows you to interact with Transmission via the command line.
- "--new" is an argument or option for the "transmission-cli" command. It tells Transmission to add a new torrent.
- "${path-to-source_file_or_directory}" is a placeholder for the actual path to the file or directory you want to add as a torrent. You need to replace it with the specific path on your system.
For example, if you have a file called "my_file.torrent" located in the Downloads directory, the command would look like:
transmission-cli --new /home/user/Downloads/my_file.torrent
This will instruct Transmission to add the torrent file or the files contained within the directory to the download queue for downloading.
