Download and Manage Received Packages

You can access IBM Aspera Faspex on Demand packages that have been sent to a Workgroup or Dropbox of which you are a member, or directly to your Faspex account. You can enable the Faspex email notification feature for when you receive a new package.

View Received Packages

You can find your received packages in the Received section in the Faspex menu.

Downloading a package sent directly to your Faspex user account

To download a package, click the button.

Once you have initiated the download, you will be asked to confirm your download directory; after which, Faspex will prompt IBM Aspera Connect Browser Plug-in to start a session. When the Confirm window appears, click Allow to begin.

Note: When downloading a received package, Connect Browser Plug-in will prompt the user for a passphrase if the package is encrypted. Connect will also prompt for a passphrase if the package contains any .aspera-env files anywhere within the folder hierarchy, even if the package contains unencrypted files or files encrypted with different passphrases. If you elect to keep downloaded files encrypted, then you do not need to enter a password until you attempt to decrypt the files locally. For more information about decrypting protected files, see Appendix: Decrypting Protected Files.

Sorting Packages

To download file packages that have been sent directly to you, click Received within the Faspex menu. In the received packages list, you can click the header bar links to sort your packages. For example, when clicking Sender, all packages are sorted alphabetically by sender's name, or reverse-alphabetically when clicking twice.
