Central Server Configurations
- address
- The network interface address on which the Aspera Central listens. The
default 127.0.0.1 enables the transfer server to accept transfer requests
from the local computer. Setting the value to 0.0.0.0 allows the transfer
server to accept transfer requests on all network interfaces.
- Values: (Network interface address, default 127.0.0.1)
- port
- The port on which the Aspera Central service listens.
- Values: (Number 1-65535, default 40001)
- persistent_store
- Whether to store transfer history locally. This should be enabled if the
transfer server will be used with Faspex or Shares.
- Values: enable (default), disable
- persistent_store_max_age
- The time in seconds to retain local transfer history data.
- Values: (Number, default 86400)
- persistent_store_on_error
- Whether the Central server should terminate (exit) when an
error occurs while writing to the local transfer history database, or ignore
the error.
- Values: ignore (default), exit
- compact_on_startup
- Whether to compact the local transfer history database on startup (note that
this may take awhile).
- Values: ignore (default), exit
- files_per_session
- The number of file names to be recorded for any transfer session. For
example, if the value is set to 50 the first 50 filenames will be recorded
for any session. A setting of 0 logs all filenames. The session will still
record the number of files transferred, and the number of files completed,
failed or skipped.
- Values: (Number, default 1000000)
- ignore_empty_files
- Whether to block the logging of zero byte files (true) or
not (false).
- Values: true (default), false
- ignore_skipped_files
- Whether to block the logging of skipped files (true) or not
(false).
- Values: true (default), false
- ignore_no_transfer_files
- Whether to block the logging of files that were not transferred because they
already exist at the destination (true) or not
(false).
- Values: true (default), false
