Testing a Locally Initiated Transfer

Test client functionality by transferring to and from the Aspera Demo Server.

1. Add the Demo Server in the Connection Manager

   Launch the application: Start menu > All Programs > Aspera > Enterprise Server > Enterprise Server .

   Then click Connections.

   

   Note:

   This topic shows a very basic configuration to establish a connection. For more detailed instructions about Connections, refer to Managing Connections.

   In the Connection Manager, click to add a new connection, and enter the following info, leave other options with default values or blank:

   Field	Value
   Host	demo.asperasoft.com
   User	aspera
   Authentication (Password)	demoaspera

   
2. Test your connection to the remote server
   Click Test Connection to determine whether you can reach the remote server with the settings you configured. An alert box opens and reports whether the connection is successful.
3. Connect to the Demo Server and download test files

   From the main window, select the demo server entry and click the Connect button.

   

   On the server file browser (right panel), browse to the folder /aspera-test-dir-large, select the file 100MB, and click to download it to your local machine.

   

   You should see the session appear in the Transfer tab.

4. Upload to the Demo Server

   When downloaded, try uploading the same files back to the Demo Server. Select the same file (100MB) on the local file browser (left panel), navigate to the folder /Upload on the server, and click to upload it.
