Brilliant, thanks for assisting me, very much appreciated.
As to your first question, I know that when I tried the transmission app from home (on my home network), it did show the transmission web app front end (and that's as far as I got). Now I'm at work at the moment (and ahem, cough......taking a quick break), I can access my NV+ V2 admin page and all the shares just fine, but when I run the transmission app, I get an error message as follows:
403: Forbidden
Unauthorized IP Address.
Either disable the IP address whitelist or add your address to it.
If you're editing settings.json, see the 'rpc-whitelist' and 'rpc-whitelist-enabled' entries.
If you're still using ACLs, use a whitelist instead. See the transmission-daemon mainpage for details.
No idea what to do now. I've seen mention of people editing the "settings.json" file, but I wouldn't know where to begin ? Don't know if this is something to do with my work's router blocking something ?
2. When you say you paste the link in the Nas Transmission web page, exactly where do you paste it (sorry, as I said I'm a complete newbie). Any chance you have a screen shot or something please ?
Hopefully I haven't scared you off so far :lol:
Oh yes, for info, I found the settings.json file (yes all on my own :D :D ), and am happy to post it's contents, but I'm not sure if there's anything within it that I shouldn't broadcast publicly ?
