If Transmission is running, you should be able to edit most settings through the webGUI.
If you want to edit settings.json directly using Notepad++, you will have to stop the Transmission service, then browse to your NAS using CIFS. There should be a share called "addons-config". If the share does not show, then use your admin account to log in. Either the share then shows up, or you will have to go to the "c"-share and then there's a folder called "addons-config".
Go to addons-config, then the folder "Transmission", then to "transmission-daemon". Settings.json is one of the files in that folder.
