Installation & Configuration |
Set up Aspera Sync on your systems
Aspera Sync must be installed on both the source and destination machines. Version 3.3 or above of Aspera Enterprise Server, Connect Server, or Point-to-Point, or at least an ascp binary must already be installed on the same machines and must have a valid Sync-enabled license. To check which version of these products is installed on your system, run the version- and license-check command ascp -A. If the latest version of Aspera Sync is not already installed on your system, follow the steps below to download the binaries from the Aspera download site.
You must have proper permissions to access directories and files that are to be synchronized with Aspera Sync.
Once installed, you can run async to any machine that is accessible through a remote shell. For remote transfers, Sync uses SSH; for this reason, you must ensure the proper ports are open in your firewall.
