you can use FileZilla and use SFTP protocol to connect to your VPS and download files just like using FTP. SFTP means SSH File Transfer Protocol, you don’t need to setup FTP server for this as the SSH server (which already installed and running) will serve SFTP. you’ll use your SSH login to connect to your VPS using SFTP.

Hey,

I got it working, thank your for that ^^
But i’m all new to this. How can I download my downloaded torrents?
For example, I downloaded 1GB of wallpapers and it’s 100% downloaded on my VPS, the name of the file is PHOTO123.rar . How do I download this file to my desktop?

Many thanks!

on a freshly installed CentOS 6, this is what i do to get libtorrent and rtorrent compiled:

# yum install gcc vsftpd pkgconfig openssl-devel libsigc++20-devel make gcc-c++ ncurses-devel libcurl-devel libtool xmlrpc-c-devel cppunit-devel pcre-devel bzip2-devel httpd-devel php-devel php-pdo

# export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

then in libtorrent directory, ./autogen.sh, ./configure, make, make install
in rtorrent directory, ./autogen.sh, ./configure –with-xmlrpc-c, make, make install

xmlrpc because i’m using rutorrent.

hope this helps the others.

it seems that the ./configure is failed. a search on google said that is something to do with libtool, so try install or update libtool on your server.

Hey, I’m having a little trouble getting this to work. Maybe I’m doing something wrong in the configuration, but here’s what I get WHEN:

a) I use the command ./configure in the dir libtorrent-0.12.5 after using ./autogen.sh and receiving no errors:

./configure: line 2027: syntax error near unexpected token `build_old_libs,’
./configure: line 2027: ` _LT_DECL(build_old_libs, enable_static, 0,’

(From here I tried out ‘make’)

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

(I found Makefile.am and Makefile.in inside the directory, so I’m not sure why the command isn’t finding it.)

b) I used the command ./configure in the dir rtorrent-0.8.5 after using ./autogen.sh without recieving any errors. The following is the last two lines of what looks like healthy results.

./configure: line 18658: syntax error near unexpected token `TORRENT_ENABLE_DEBUG’
./configure: line 18658 `TORRENT_ENABLE_DEBUG()’

(I also get the same ‘makefile not found’ error as with libtorrent even though the Makefiles are there. What am I doing wrong, and what can I do to fix this problem?)

Thanks.. I got stuck up on the PKG_CONFIG_PATH step.. Got away with that with the help of your post :)
