Download to remote (FTP) storage #1

Closed hiebra closed 5 years ago

hiebra commented 5 years ago

I'm running the app from my Android TV box. It works perfect when my external hard disk is plugged and properly set up as device storage. I'd like to use a folder of my FTP server as download target. This would help me because I (as all Android users) have not too much internal storage and only one USB port. Another reason is that I'd like to be to format my disks in a portable way (android device storage is only valid for Android). Would this be a major change?

Support for FTP storage should be implemented in the transmission core, but not in the android app. If you really need this functionality, please resubmit this issue here - https://github.com/transmission/transmission , but I doubt it will ever be implemented. I would recommend you either install transmission directly on your server, or use a different protocol instead of FTP - SMB or NFS, for example. On your android box you may mount a remote SMB or NFS folder and use it for downloads.

Hi

Thank you for your response. I understand (for your words) that related code must be on the backed component. I've decided to attach a hard disk to my box forever (what is not so bad) but I'd like to note, to talk about an ideal future, that users of your wrapper have specific needs: We're not able to mount NFS/Samba content (except on rooted devices) and we are short of storage and USB ports. But such adaptation, I perfectly understand, could be difficult if the backed component's interface is not designed to be extended in that way. In any case I know too that there are more important issues than this one. If you prefer, I can send you future issues by mail before posting on GitHub

Greetings
