Create a torrent?

[markrieder]

I want to send files from NAS to torrent servers. Through which application can I do this?

[Mobius]

you would generally use the same app you torrent with (ie. qbitorrent)

torrents usually don't have servers since they are peer to peer sharing. If you want to post it on a site you would need to add their trackers to your torrent.

Sorry, I said it wrong. I know how torrent works and how to set up a tracker. I downloaded Transmission torrent to my server but I don't know how to share my media via torrent. I can create a torrent via PC, but I can't do it via the server.

I don't see the option to create a torrent via Transmission. I want to seed my media from the server.

@markrieder - You can create a torrent using Transmission. Just go to file and click new.

Here is a guide but they worded it a bit differently: https://umatechnology.org/how-to-create-torrent-files-share-them-using-transmission/
