Setting new users for deluge thin client on Ubuntu 14.04

Post by zulu »

So I have used this guide (http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Install-t ... dless.html) to install deluge headless server. I'm able to access the Web Ui just fine but would like to use deluge windows client to access the server instead. After reading, I understood that I need to edit auth file with host, user name & password.

I cannot locate the auth file and looked in few places and here's what I found so far.

/var/lib/deluged/config <-- I cannot cd into config folder, says (bash: cd: config: Permission denied)

Been at this for few hours now and don't know where else I'm supposed to look or how to get into that directory to see if auth exists or not?

EDIT:

Resolved . . . Thanks for looking who ever did look :) . . .

The folder is called '.config' and is therefore hidden (it starts with a "."). On Ubuntu, make sure you're root if you want to get in there, 'sudo su' should help you there.

Or, in short:
  • sudo nano /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge/auth
Hope this helps.
