Introduction

IBM Aspera Connect is an install-on-demand application that facilitates high-speed uploads and downloads with an Aspera transfer server.

Connect is compatible with most standard Web browsers. It integrates all of Aspera's high-performance transport technology in a small, easy-to-use package that provides unequaled control over transfer parameters. Connect includes the following features:

Feature Description
