This section explains how to set up an account in the Outlook Add-in using your Faspex credentials. Note that you can configure more than one Faspex account and identify the default for all new emails. Start by opening Microsoft Outlook and selecting Aspera Transfer Settings > Aspera Add-In Options.
The Aspera Add-in Options window will open, displaying your Account credentials tab.
To add a Faspex account, click Add and complete the fields in the New Account Setup configuration window.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Description | Type a description for your Faspex account. |
| Aspera service provider | Type the full web address of your Faspex transfer server (for example: https://faspex.yourcompany.com or https://www.example.com/aspera/faspex). The address must include http:// or https://. |
| Username | Type your Faspex username (that is, the login ID). |
| Password | Type your Faspex password. |
When you click OK, the Outlook Add-in attempts to validate your account information, including the Faspex web address, username and password. If your credentials are incorrect or if you are not connected to the Internet, you will see an error message. Once your account has been validated, it is listed in the Aspera Faspex Accounts list. Select the account to view your saved information.
To make changes to an account, select it, edit the fields, and click Apply.
