Working With Remote Servers |
Faspex communicates with a transfer server product (IBM Aspera Enterprise Server or IBM Aspera Connect Server) using the Node API, a daemon on the transfer server that offers REST-inspired file operations and a transfer management API. A local, remote, or cloud system installed with a transfer server is called an Aspera node. Faspex can access a local node or a transfer node remotely via the Node API.
You can add multiple nodes to Faspex from the File Storage page (go to Server > File Storage). Faspex lists connected nodes and configured file storage on the File Storage Page. On a fresh install, the default Faspex transfer server, localhost, is the only server listed, and its default storage directory, packages, is the default inbox destination.To add a remote server to Faspex, you must first configure the node machine. For more information, see Configuring a Remote Transfer Node for Faspex.
Follow the instructions below to add a configured node to Faspex.
