Server Set up Methods

Users, groups, and transfers can be configured in several ways, all of which modify the server configuration file aspera.conf.

• In the GUI

  Click Configuration to open the Configuration Manager. For descriptions of the configuration settings available in the GUI, see ../../users_groups_gui.ditamap and ../../conf_ref_gui.ditamap.

• Running asconfigurator commands

  Run asconfigurator commands from Terminal to automatically insert parameter settings as well-formed XML into aspera.conf. Use of asconfigurator commands is described in Set up Users and Groups from the Command Line and Configure the Server from the Command Line.

• Manually editing aspera.conf

  Open aspera.conf in a text editor with write permission and add or edit the text in XML format. Find aspera.conf in the following location:

  /opt/aspera/etc/aspera.conf

  For templates of aspera.conf parameter settings, see Set up Users and Groups from the Command Line and Configure the Server from the Command Line.
