transmission-edit: Update a tracker's passcode in a torrent file.
$ transmission-edit --replace ${old-passcode} ${new-passcode} ${filename-torrent}
try on your machine

This command is used to modify the passcode (also known as a password or authentication key) associated with a specific torrent file using the Transmission BitTorrent client. Let's breakdown the command:

  • transmission-edit is the main command-line tool provided by the Transmission client for editing torrent properties.
  • --replace is an option or flag used to indicate that we want to replace the existing passcode.
  • ${old-passcode} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the current passcode you want to change.
  • ${new-passcode} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the new passcode you want to set.
  • ${filename-torrent} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the name or path of the torrent file you want to edit.

When you run this command with the actual values, it will search for the specified torrent file and modify its passcode from the old value to the new value.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
