| Working With Remote Servers | |
Before configuring IBM Aspera Faspex to communicate with a remote transfer server, it is important to understand how it is able to do so. IBM Aspera Enterprise Server or IBM Aspera Connect Server 3.0+ features the Node API, a daemon that offers REST-inspired file operations and a transfer management API. An local, remote, or cloud system installed with Enterprise Server or Connect Server is called an Aspera node. Faspex can access a local node or a transfer node remotely via the Node API.
