Where is settings.json for the transmission-cli package?

I installed transmission-cli earlier today, I've spent a while trying to work out where settings.json is (via google and trawling my mounts), but have been unable to locate it.

People seem to say that the user configuration file is at ~/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json, and the global configuration file is at /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json, but neither of these exist on my system. I did notice that /etc/conf.d/transmissiond has a commented out line regarding it, but I can't find the default file to copy over and modify in any case.

Any ideas?

Have you started transmissiond yet? IIRC, doing so will create the files in ~/.config, at which point you can stop the daemon, edit settings.json and start it up again.

I've started it and restarted it multiple times -- that was my initial thought too.

Well for me it's /home/USER/.config/transmissioncli/settings.json
