Configuring a Remote Server in Faspex

When you initially view the File Storage page, you will find that the IP address or domain name is the same as that of your Web server, as shown below. On a fresh install, the default Faspex transfer server, localhost, is the only server listed on the File Storage page, and its default storage directory, packages, is shown as the default inbox destination.

Note: You must first configure the node machine to successfully add it to Faspex as file storage. For more information, see Configuring a Remote Transfer-Server Node.

Go to Server > File Storage to configure access to the node that manages your Aspera transfers. To add another file storage, click the Add New Node link, which takes you to the New Node configuration screen.

Fill in the following details.

Field	Description
Name	Unique name to identify the remote node.
Use SSL	To encrypt the connection to the node using SSL, enable this box. For details, see Working With SSL.
Verify SSL Certificate	To verify the SSL certificate, enable this box.
Host	The node's hostname or IP address. CAUTION: To avoid connectivity problems, do not specify a hostname that contains underscores.
Port	The node's port number.
Username	The Node API username on the node machine.
Password	The Node API password on the node machine.
Storage type	Specify whether you are connecting to a node using Windows Azure or Windows Azure SAS storage. If you are not connecting to such a node, choose Default. Note: For more information on adding an Azure node, see Adding Azure Node to File Storage.

Test the node connection by selecting Test Connection.
Optional: Expand the Advanced Configuration section to designate a primary transfer address or configure a secondary IP address to allow users to start transfers from different IP addresses.
Create the node.
- Select Create to simply create your node.
- Select Create and Add File Storage to create your node and proceed to add file storage to your node. For more information on file storage and instructions on how to add it to your node, see Adding File Storage on your Remote Server.
