Connect Functionality Initiating a Transfer You can use Connect with the Aspera demo server to test basic transfer functionality and also familiarize yourself with how to initiate uploads and downloads. The Activity Window In the Activity window, you can view and manage all transfer sessions. From here you can stop a transfer, resume it, retry a failed transfer, and open the location containing the content. Monitoring Transfers From the Transfer Monitor window, Connect lets you monitor transfer progress. The Transfer Monitor provides a graphical interface to adjust file transfer speed, adjust the minimum transfer rate, and set rate policy—all while the transfer is in progress. File Encryption Connect provides a means to protect files with Aspera encryption when the files are uploaded to a content-protected server, and to decrypt those files when downloaded.
