Hi, i'm a new ktorrent user.
I would like to use ktorrent also on web interface (when i stay outdoor)
but i don't see any kind of component that do that.

Can you help me ?

Currently, KT doesn't have any web interface but seeing that we have a plugin structure one could easily make this plugin. So, if there are any volunteers...

Anyway, we do have ktshell script included in the package so you will be able to control KT via SSH. Are you familiar with using SSH?

I don't know SSH, but now i will go to study it.

I'm a VB.Net, C# programmer, i used also Java sometimes and i see GamBas environment. I come from Windows, but now i dev also with Monodevelop and NetBeans

If you can send me some help, i can try to dev something to do that.



i would like to do it

Basically, making this plugin won't be a big problem as far as I can see. Integrating plugin with KTorrent is not a problem we can help you with that (just a few rules to take care of). The rest is up to you. BTW, we use C++/QT for development.

Stuff you'll need to do:

1. Build a (multi)threaded server. There are dozens of examples on the web, this shouldn't be a problem I think.
2. Make a few HTML templates you'll use to send to clients (we can even plan ahead these templates so that users could pick different ones).
3. Use KTorrent core interface to send/receive information about torrents.

The only thing I'd worry about is threading. KTorrent is not designed to use threads so accessing KTCore interface from multiple threads might screw things up, am I right George?

I don't know SSH, but now i will go to study it.

About SSH, think of it as secure telnet session. I'm sure you'll figure it out ('man ssh' will probably do).

Upon successfull remote connection, just fire 'ktshell' and you'll figure out the rest.

Thanks that ktshell will be useful when i get to work tomorrow!!

I have done a webinterface plugin. Please get latest ktorrent svn and test it.

I want to use webinterface, but I don't know default password When I activate webinterface plugin and trying to change password (I have 10 asterisks [*] in "Password" field), I can't do that. I can change any other field: user, port, PHP executable path etc., but it don't works for password.

Can you guys help me?

I'm using KTorrent 2.1beta1-8.1 RPM for OpenSUSE 10.1.

@stalker

@dierbro
Thank you very much for this plugin, may the happyness come to you!

Yes, of course But it doesn't help

Unfortunately - no, it doesn't erase. I'm clicking like a mad password filed, but cursor stays all the time at the end of password (after last asterisk). Backspace or Delete keys also are "inactive".

Just start typing your password. No backspace no delete. The asterisks should start from the beginning as you type out your password. I thought the same thing when I first used it.

@dierbro Possibly consider changing this, so that it won't confuse as many people. Either remove the asterisks or have them disappear when clicked. BTW love the plugin. I use it probably more than I use KTorrents interface.

Thank you, you are right! BTW: "original" asterisks didn't disappear, they are still in password field; my asterisk-covered password didn't appear, but my password works perfectly
