Adding a Node to Faspex
A node is a local, remote, or cloud workstation running an Aspera transfer server product (IBM Aspera Enterprise Server, IBM Aspera Connect Server). In order to make transfers, Faspex communicates with a node through the Node API. The Node API is a daemon on the transfer server that offers REST-inspired file operations and a transfer management API. Aspera web applications authenticate to remote node services using a Node API username and password. Different nodes may use different Node API username and password pairs.
You can add multiple nodes to Faspex from the File Storage page (go to Server > File Storage). The File Storage page lists connected nodes and configured file storage. On a fresh install, the transfer server you configured during installation is the only server listed, and its default storage directory, packages, is the default inbox destination.Follow the instructions below to add a configured node to Faspex.
