Decrypting Packages

Encrypted files are protected from unwanted access. When encrypted files arrive at their location, you need to decrypt them before you can use them. IBM Aspera Cargo works in conjunction with IBM Aspera Crypt to decrypt the contents.

Note: Decrypting files requires a passphrase that the sender of the package used to encrypt the package. Ensure that you have that passphrase.

After Cargo has downloaded and saved your package to a specified folder, the Transfer dialog opens. Click Unlock encrypted files to begin the decryption process.
Type your passphrase into the text field. You can select the Show Passphrase check box to display your passphrase to verify its spelling.
Click Decrypt to decrypt your package and view the output. If you type an incorrect passphrase and click Decrypt, you receive a status message stating that decryption has failed
You can view the output in the Aspera Crypt dialog.

The decrypted contents appear in the same directory as the original encrypted contents. “(decrypted)” is added to the filename any time the decrypted file (without the .aspera-env extension) already exists in the same folder.

If your Aspera Crypt dialog has multiple decrypted items listed, you can use the View drop-down list to sort the items by Latest, Finished or Failed.
