rTorrent + RuTorrent + RSS plugin addon
I would like to request rTorrent + RuTorrent + RSS plugin. Looks like uTorrent, it seems to me that this would be the best frontend for rTorrent and the best client bit-torrent. frontend Web: http...
ALSO: For thoes who want Authentication on ur RUTORRENT
Everythings already there and in place for Auth, on ur nas u just need to tell it the Path u want to add the authentication to ... if ur intrested these r the files and the code u need to edit:
(Be very Carefull... unless u know what you are doing i wouldnt disturb any other files )**
you will need to telnet into ur nas , the path we are looking for is :
This is a config file for various thing in apache, again i wouldnt disturb any other lines then the lines specified
( as this is perfectly safe)
In this file (near the end) you should find this line of code ( if rutorrent is installed)
This line simply tells apache to add the alias /rutorrent to ur webserver and that it points to the folder "/c/.rutorrent" ( where ur rutorrent files r stored)
Eg. http://Nas_Web_server/rutorrent points to were we want it to and give it a few options
our problem is one of the options "Allow from all" ... gives open access to the alias (anyone can see it and use it).
We are going to add a few lines to incorperate the security the nas already has built in and used on other alias into our rutorrent alias, we are going to replace that code with :
This is the same level of security u find on your nas admin front panel, a simple https secure login based on the users already created on the nas .
Break down:
Include the security information the nas already uses ( usernames and passwords permissions ect.... we dont wanna set this up were to lazy :P its already done ...)
login info must match "user" or "admin" group
Restart ur nas after the mod (apache needs to restart) and your set.
when u access (nas)/rutorrent you will be prompted for a name and pass ( same name and pass u use on ur nas)
Very simple mod , little security goes a long way ;) more so with torrents
