Connecting Aspera Shares to Console

If you want to initiated a Console transfer with an Aspera Shares application as an endpoint, follow the steps below:

Add Shares as an unmanaged node to Console with default endpoint type as Shares and Node API port as 443.
Adding the Shares application as an unmanaged node makes it easier to save Shares credentials for use in transfers. Aspera does not recommend adding Shares applications as managed nodes because they lack the capabilities necessary for monitoring.

For more instructions on adding an unmanaged node, see Adding Unmanaged Nodes.
Create a Shares endpoint for the unmanaged node.
For instructions on adding an endpoint to the node, see Adding Endpoints.
Add nodes used by the Shares application as managed nodes in Console for transfer monitoring.
For instructions on adding a managed node, see Creating a Managed Node in Console.
Create a simple or smart transfer with the Shares endpoint.
For instructions on creating simple or smart transfers, see Starting a Simple Transfer and Creating a Smart Transfer, respectively.
Important: You cannot initiate transfers between Shares endpoints and SSH endpoints, or between two Shares endpoints. For more information about restrictions on endpoint combinations, see Console Transfer Special Conditions.
