You may utilize an asctl command to change the IBM Aspera Faspex package
storage directory. To view the current package directory, run the following command in a
Command Prompt window:
> asctl faspex:package_dir
To change Faspex's package directory, use the same command, but
specify a path (e.g., change to C:\new-path):
> asctl faspex:package_dir C:\new-path
Important:
Changing the package directory within the application does not move the packages
or create the directory. The
Faspex 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 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 Faspex
Server is running under, with permissions to read/write/delete/traverse
directories, and create new files and folders.
- UNC paths are used, rather than drive letters.
- If you are using Active Directory (AD) and the network share uses
AD to manage permissions, check that Faspex Server and Aspera Central are
running under a domain account.
