Quick Connectivity Test

After you have downloaded the Aspera Mobile Uploader app, you can perform a quick test without changing any default settings. This will test against the preconfigured Aspera Demo Server. To perform the quick test, follow the steps below.

  1. Select media for upload either from your device's gallery or camera.

    Within the main app screen, select your test media from your gallery (press the Gallery button) or take a photo/video using your camera (press the Camera button).

    The selected photo (or icon representing a video) will show at the top of the screen.

  2. Upload your image or video content to the Aspera demo server.

    Press the Upload button to transfer ytour selected media to the Aspera demo server. A simple status indicator appears at the bottom of the screen.

    Note:

    Note: Only users (or automation processes) having proper permission to access your destination directory will be able to view and/or modify the uploaded content.

  3. View detailed transfer information by clicking the info button.

    To see detailed progress information, tap the i button at the bottom of the screen (by the status indicator). Detailed progress information includes the following:

    • Photo or video size
    • Amount of content uploaded to server (i.e. progress)
    • Amount of content remaining
    • Transfer rate

Once your photo or video has finished uploading, your simple connectivity test has concluded successfully! Now, to configure the Mobile Uploader's settings for your own Aspera transfer server, please review the Settings and Uploading.
