The following requirements apply to all Aspera Sync endpoints:
- Linux RedHat 6 & 7, CentOS 6 & 7, Fedora 15-20, Ubuntu 12-14, Debian
6 & 7, or SLES 11, with kernel 2.4 or higher
- For all non-Windows environments: libc version
GLIB 2.5 or higher
- Aspera Enterprise Server, Connect Server, or Point-to-Point version 3.5 or above with a
Sync-enabled license. The async and asyncadmin
executables are installed with these products. Updates to Sync are available as
patches that can be downloaded from the Aspera website: http://www.asperasoft.com/en/downloads/23.
- Firewall: Allow SSH connections on a non-default, configurable TCP port (for
example, TCP/33001).
- Sync uses the ascp binary to perform data transfer. For this reason, you
should verify performance and test transfer speeds by running an
ascp transfer between the endpoints (pushing and/or pulling)
that you plan to sync.
Note: Sync endpoints must be running compatible versions of Aspera Sync. Sync 3.5 and newer
requires peers with Sync 3.5 or newer, or Sync 1.5.6 (bundled with installations of
Enterprise/Connect Server, Point-to-Point, and Client 3.4.6).
