transmission-remote: Change the default download directory.
$ transmission-remote ${hostname} -w ${-path-to-download_directory}
try on your machine

This command is used to control a Transmission BitTorrent client remotely from the command line. Here's a breakdown of the command:

transmission-remote: This is the command itself, which is used to interact with the Transmission client.

${hostname}: This variable represents the hostname or IP address of the machine running the Transmission client. It is expected that you replace ${hostname} with the actual IP address or hostname.

-w ${-path-to-download_directory}: This option is used to set the download directory for the downloaded files. ${-path-to-download_directory} is a placeholder for the actual file path of the directory where you want the downloaded files to be saved. You should replace ${-path-to-download_directory} with the desired file path on your system.

Overall, this command connects to the remote Transmission client specified by ${hostname} and sets the download directory to ${-path-to-download_directory}.
