Securing Incoming and Outgoing Transfers

This section describes how to configure IBM Aspera Faspex to deny all transfers except for ones initiated by or sent to permitted users. This is accomplished by updating the global authorization settings for your installation of IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Server (HSTS).
  1. Go to Start menu > All Programs > Aspera > Enterprise Server > Enterprise Server and then select Configuration > Global > Authorization.
  2. Select Override for both Incoming Transfers and Outgoing Transfers. Change both settings to deny. You can then set transfer permissions on an individual user basis using the Users tab.

  3. (Complete this step if your system is a dedicated FaspexServer and is not performing transfers with IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Server or HSTS) Only allow user "faspex" within HSTS

    Launch IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Server by going to Start menu > All Programs > Aspera > Enterprise Server > Enterprise Server, and then select the Configuration button and Users tab. Ensure that faspex is the only user listed.
