Torrent Server - File download and sharing server

Torrent Server - File download and sharing server

A file server with integrated multi-protocol file sharing that can be used to handle all types of file downloads. Files can be added to the download list through a simple web interface that allows you to manage the server remotely. Especially useful for centralizing file sharing on a shared network. Includes anti-virus scanning.

This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

• SSL support out of the box.

• Includes popular compression support (zip, rar, bz2).

• Includes flip to convert text file endings between UNIX and DOS formats.

• E-mail download completion notification via Postfix MTA (bound to localhost).

• File sharing (Transmission) configurations:

  • Anti-virus / malware scanning via ClamAV.

    • Anti-virus signatures are auto-updated.
    • Automatically quarantines unsafe downloads.
    • Anti-virus logfile: /var/log/rtorrent/clamav.log

• File server (Samba) configurations:

  • Preconfigured wordgroup: WORKGROUP

  • Preconfigured netbios name: TORRENTSERVER

  • Configured root as administrative samba user.

  • Configured shares:

    • Users home directory.
    • Public storage.
    • CD-ROM with automount and umount hooks (/media/cdrom).

  • NOTE: Due to the removal of libpam-smbpass (see issue #1188), new Samba users must have their passwords explictly set separately when created. However, if you create a Samba user using smbpasswd, then a new Linux user of the same name, with the same password is automatically created (including home directory). E.g.:

    # smbpasswd -a new_user
    New SMB password:
    Retype new SMB password:
    Added user new_user.
    # ls /home/
    new_user
    

• Access your files securely from anywhere via WebDAV CGI:

  • DAV service running via HTTPS.
  • Pre-configured repositories (storage, user home directory).

• Default storage directory: /srv/storage

• Accessing file server via samba on the command line:

  smbclient //1.0.0.61/storage -Uroot
      mount -t cifs //1.0.0.61/storage /mnt -o username=root,password=PASSWORD
  

See the Torrent Server Documentation for more details, including configuration details if behind a Firewall/Router/NAT
