Changing Package Directory

Change the Aspera^®Faspex Server™ package storage directory.

You may utilize an asctl command to change the Aspera Faspex Server package storage directory. To view the current package directory, run the following command in a Terminal window:

$ asctl faspex:package_dir

To change Aspera Faspex Server's package directory, use the same command, but specify a path (e.g., change to /new-path):

$ asctl faspex:package_dir /new-path

Important:

Changing the package directory within the application does not move the packages or create the directory. The Aspera Faspex Server Administrator must create the new package directory and move the packages manually on the file system, being careful to preserve the directory permissions. Copying packages can be performed either before or after changing the package directory. For additional assistance, please contact Technical Support.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

If you will be storing Aspera Faspex packages in a network directory, ensure that the directory is configured as follows:

The network share is accessible to the OS system account that Aspera Faspex Server is running under, with permissions to read/write/delete/traverse directories, and create new files and folders.
The share will be auto-mounted on boot.
