| 1 | == Authentication == |
| 2 | The daemon looks at the file ~/.config/deluge/auth for doing authentication. The format of this file is straightforward, each line contains a username:password pair in plaintext. There should always be a 'localclient' entry for use by the UIs running locally by your user. |

| 4 | '''Note:''' |
| 5 | If you do not have an auth file in your config folder, first run the daemon to have it created for you. |

| 15 | echo "username:password" >> ~/.config/deluge/auth |
| 16 | }}} |

| 18 | From the GtkUI, you will have to add the host with a username and password, if you don't do this, you won't be able to connect to the host or tell if it's online. |
