Deluge Forum

I run deluged on a headless server and usually connect via web or Gtk. I just upgraded from 1.0.7 to 1.1.0 RC2 and for some reason the gtk client won't connect to the daemon on the LAN. I had it previously set up to connect automatically, but the server doesn't show up in the connections manager. I used the Add button to add it manually but it shows the daemon as offline. I use the default port and double checked it in gtk and on the daemon via the web. I don't see anything in the release notes or the FAQ about a default username or password for the daemon. Did I miss something?

I found my answer (sort of) here:
http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/ThinClient

It says that your username:password need to be entered into ~/.config/deluge/auth. For some reason I had "localclient:8ef8da6c9c96f81a663f4906e93541049a62c653" already in that file, not by me. I changed it to something else and gtk now connects as expected.

localclient is automatically generated by the daemon so that any local clients can access it.

where is this file on windows?

In my windows it is in /user/appdata/roaming/deluge/
It should be a similar location.
