commonly used. To view a complete list, run the following

Central Server Configurations
- address
- The network interface address on which the Aspera Central listens. The default 127.0.0.1 enables the transfer server to accept transfer requests from the local computer. Setting the value to 0.0.0.0 allows the transfer server to accept transfer requests on all network interfaces.
- port
- The port on which the Aspera Central service listens.
- persistent_store
- Whether to store transfer history locally. This should be enabled if the transfer server will be used with Faspex or Shares.
- persistent_store_max_age
- The time in seconds to retain local transfer history data.
- persistent_store_on_error
- Whether the Central server should terminate (
exit
) when an error occurs while writing to the local transfer history database, or ignore the error. - compact_on_startup
- Whether to compact the local transfer history database on startup (note that this may take awhile).
- files_per_session
- The number of file names to be recorded for any transfer session. For example, if the value is set to 50 the first 50 filenames will be recorded for any session. A setting of 0 logs all filenames. The session will still record the number of files transferred, and the number of files completed, failed or skipped.
- ignore_empty_files
- Whether to block the logging of zero byte files (
true
) or not (false
). - ignore_skipped_files
- Whether to block the logging of skipped files (
true
) or not (false
). - ignore_no_transfer_files
- Whether to block the logging of files that were not transferred because they
already exist at the destination (
true
) or not (false
).
