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 |
---|---|
FASP file transport | High-performance transport technology. |
Browser interface | Uploads and downloads are launched transparently by a Web browser. |
Flexible transfer types | Easily transfer single files, multiple files, or entire directories. |
Transfer retry and resume | Automatically retries and resumes partial and failed transfers. |
Browser-independent transfer | The Web browser can be closed once transfer operations have begun. |
Transfer monitor | A built-in transfer monitor for visual rate control and monitoring. |
HTTP fallback | HTTP fallback mode for highly restrictive network environments. |
Proxy support | HTTP fallback and FASP proxy settings. |
Content protection | Password-protect files that are being transferred and stored on the remote server. |
Queueing | Allow a fixed number of concurrent transfers, and place the rest in a queue. |

The drag-and-drop feature is not supported on Linux systems in this release of Connect.
