Accessing the web interface
Once enabled, open a web browser and direct it to http://ip_address_of_machine_running_transmission:9091/ If the web browser and the Transmission daemon are on the machine you can use http://127.0.0.1:9091/ 9091 is the default remote control port specified in Transmission configuration or in preferences of Windows or Linux client.
