Aspera products such as IBM Aspera Drive and IBM Aspera Enterprise Server have integrated
capabilities for working with IBM Aspera Shares. Such products interact with Shares using
the API. To allow the API to correctly access the users shares please below ensure that
the permissions are correctly configured.
-
For each Shares user, ensure that the
API Login check box is checked under the
Security tab. On Shares 1.6 and later
versions, this permission is enabled by default whenever new users are
created.
-
Create shares, and authorize users for each share. The table below describes
the mapping between the API permissions and Shares user
permissions.

Note: Folders with names that do not follow the proper Windows
folder naming convention do not open in
Shares. For details on
