Setup Example #2: Managing Aspera Faspex Transfers

This example shows how to monitor and control transfers on a node running IBM Aspera Faspex, a file exchange application built upon IBM Aspera Enterprise Server for a centralized transfer solution. The configuration in this example is as follow:
  1. Add Faspex as a managed node, and create an endpoint.
    Go to Nodes from the Console menu and click New Managed Node. Enter the Faspex node information and click Create.

    Important: If you wish to configure the Faspex node transfer settings using Console, go to the Node Maintenance page, select the Credentials tab, and enter the SSH login.
    When the node is added, go to the Endpoints tab and click Add Endpoint. Enter Faspex in the Login field, leave password fields blank. When finished, click Create.

  2. Create a group with the proper permissions.

    Go to Groups from the Console menu and click New Group. Enter the group's information and click Create.



    When the group is created in the Group Maintenance page, go to the Transfer Paths tab and click Add Path. Use the following settings for this Transfer Path (change the Faspex node address to match yours):
