IBM Aspera Faspex and the Connect Browser Plug-In

Transfers initiated in the IBM Aspera Faspex web application are conducted using the IBM Aspera Connect Browser Plug-in. The Connect Plug-In is an install-on-demand web browser plug-in that facilitates high-speed uploads and downloads with an Aspera transfer server.

The Connect Install Dialog

When a user first logs in, Faspex checks if the Connect has been installed on their browser. If they have an outdated version or do not have the plug-in installed, Faspex prompts the users to download and install the plug-in.

Clicking Download latest version connects the user to Aspera's CloudFront CDN from which they can download the Connect installer.
