Sending Packages

To send file packages, go to New Package from the IBM Aspera Faspex menu. When a local transfer is initiated, Aspera Faspex will prompt IBM Aspera Connect Browser Plug-in to start a session. Remote transfers (if enabled) will not prompt the Connect Browser Plug-in. You must allow the Connect Browser Plug-in to run in order to send packages with Faspex.

The following options must be enabled by a Faspex administrator before they can be configured.

Fill out custom metadata fields added by the administrator.
Faspex allows the administrator to add custom metadata fields to the New Package form. You may see additional text input or options.
(Optional) Enable Encryption-at-Rest.
If allowed by the system administrator, enable (check) the box if you would like to encrypt the package's contents on the server. Note that the recipient(s) will be required to decrypt the package with a password.
Select source.
If your Faspex account is allowed to create packages from remote sources, you will have the option to select your content source from the Source drop-down list. For example, you may have the option to select whether a package is created from files on your local computer, from files on another computer, or from cloud-based storage.
Important: Outside submitters will not be able to create packages from remote sources.
Upload files and send package.
- Browse for files: Upload specific files to Faspex.
- Browse for folders: Upload entire folders to Faspex.
- You can also simply drag and drop files and folders into the Faspex Web UI to upload files.
Review your details and select Send Package when you are finished.

Depending on your Package Storage settings, file packages sent from Faspex are either stored on the server for a specified duration or until they are manually deleted. You can find your sent packages in the Sent section in the Faspex menu.
