01 / Direct control

Built for your server.

Remote talks directly to Transmission's RPC interface. Your server address and credentials stay on the device, and there is no Remote account or app-owned service between the phone and the daemon.

  • Add magnet links and .torrent files from Android
  • Start, pause, move, verify, reannounce, and remove torrents
  • Inspect files, priorities, trackers, peers, pieces, ratio, and ETA
  • Control bandwidth, queues, seeding rules, and peer discovery

02 / Connection guide

Connect in four steps.

  1. 01

    Enable Transmission RPC

    Confirm that rpc-enabled is true in Transmission. Stop the daemon before editing its settings file so it does not overwrite your changes.

  2. 02

    Check the address

    Transmission normally listens on port 9091. The standard RPC path is /transmission/rpc.

  3. 03

    Protect the endpoint

    Set a username and strong password. For access away from home, prefer a VPN or an HTTPS reverse proxy over exposing an unencrypted RPC port.

  4. 04

    Add it in Remote

    Open Settings, choose Add Server, select Transmission, enter the address and credentials, then test the primary address before saving.

03 / If it cannot connect

Check the route first.

Wrong path
Use /transmission/rpc unless your reverse proxy orrpc-url setting changes it.
RPC whitelist
Transmission may reject the phone when its IP is not in the RPC whitelist. Add the correct network or review the whitelist setting.
Not reachable
A private LAN address works only while the phone is on that LAN or connected through a VPN. Add an alternative address with Pro when the same server has multiple routes.
HTTPS mismatch
The hostname entered in Remote must match the certificate. User-installed certificate authorities are supported on Android.
