Transferring Content

Drive is accessible through a Finder-like interface. You can use standard Finder functions for moving and copying files between the server and your local machine.

  1. To access the transfer server, click the Drive icon in the menu bar, and select Aspera Drive > accountName.
  2. Use standard Finder functions for browsing through files and folders of each account, transferring files to and from your transfer account, or creating new folders.
    Note: Depending on your account's permissions on the file transfer server, you might encounter limitations on the following actions on the transfer server:
    • browsing
    • transfers
    • file operations
    • context menu options
  3. Verify the status of your transfer:
    If it is not already open, open the Drive Activity window. On the Transfers pane, in the list of transferred files and folders, view the status of your transfer.
    You can see its status during a transfer, or after it has completed.

    The buttons on the Activity window's Transfers pane have the following meanings:

    Opens the Transfer Monitor for more in-progress detail about the transfer.

    In the Transfer Monitor, you can adjust the transfer rate (if allowed).

    Opens a Finder window to the transfer destination folder (the containing folder).
    Stops an in-progess transfer.
    Resumes a stopped or suspended transfer.
    Retries a failed transfer.
    Note: If a transfer is reported as complete but the file or folder does not appear in the Drive window, refresh the window.
