The following example demonstrates the process of creating a new, basic report
(following the instructions described in the topic Creating a Basic Report)
for Hot Folder transfers. In our example, we will generate a report that displays
transfer activity for Hot Folders that have been set up within Aspera
Enterprise (or Connect) Server, Point_to_Point and Client. The example report, once
generated, will display Hot Folder transfer start time, end time and the number of
files transferred.

Description |
Basic Hot Folder Transfer report, which includes start time,
stop time and the number of files that were transferred. |
How would you like to organize this
report? |
Select "Transfer" as the field by which to organize this report. In doing so, the
report will be grouped the human-readable name that has been
assigned to each hot folder transfer. A transfer represents one or
multiple executions of ascp (that is., one or multiple attempts
to transfer). |
Columns to include |
Select the following basic fields to include as columns: - started at
- stopped at
- files completed
- average rate
Note: When you select a field,
its definition appears in the box below.

Sort |
Select the "transfer name" field (in ascending order) to sort
data inside your group. |
Filters |
In this example, we must set a filter that checks the value of the transfer cookie.
When files are transferred using Hot Folders, the transfer cookie
contains the following information:
aspera.sync2:
Thus, the filter must be
set to only include transfers that have a transfer cookie
starting with the value aspera.sync2:.
