Setting Up a Transfer Node |
> ascp -AIf you need to update your transfer server license, follow the instructions in IBM Aspera Enterprise Server Admin Guide: Updating Product License.
After creating a Windows user account, log in as that user at least once for Windows to set up the user's home folder.
The examples in the steps below use xfer-user as an example username.
The following steps use the asconfigurator utility to modify the aspera.conf configuration file, located at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Aspera\Enterprise Server\etc\aspera.conf.
> asconfigurator -x "set_user_data;user_name,username;absolute,/ docroot/path"
> asconfigurator -x "set_user_data;user_name,xfer-user;absolute,/project1"
> asconfigurator -x "set_user_data;user_name,username;token_encryption_key,encryption_key"The encryption key can be any string of numbers. Aspera recommends a string that is at least 20 characters long. For example:
> asconfigurator -x "set_user_data;user_name,xfer-user;token_encryption_key,gj5o930t78m34ejme9dx"
> asuserdata -c central server option set: address: "127.0.0.1" port: "40001" backlog: "200" schema_validation: "enable" mgmt_backlog: "200" mgmt_port: "0" transfer_list_path: "" persistent_store: "enable" persistent_store_path: "" persistent_store_max_age: "86400" persistent_store_on_error: "ignore" event_buffer_capacity: "1000" event_buffer_overrun: "block" compact_on_startup: "enable" files_per_session: "1000000" file_errors: "true" ignore_empty_files: "true" ignore_skipped_files: "true" ignore_no_transfer_files: "true" db_synchronous: "off" db_journal: "wal"
> asconfigurator -x "set_central_server_data;persistent_store,enable"Restart the Aspera Central service to update the node configuration:
# service asperacentral restart
> asnodeadmin -a -u node_api_username -p node_api_password -x username
> asnodeadmin -a -u shares-node-user -p ****** -x xfer-user
> asnodeadmin -lThe result should be similar to the following example:
user system/transfer user acls ==================== ======================= ==================== node_api_username username []
> cd "C:\Documents and Settings\username" > mkdir .ssh
> cd "C:\Documents and Settings\xfer-user" > mkdir .ssh
