Name You can edit the name of your file storage in this field.
Directory Change the directory of your file storage by clicking the Browse... button.

Read permission There are three permissions you can set for a file storage:
  • Private: Only the current user can access this file storage.
  • Public: Any user can access this file storage.
  • Limited: Specify which Faspex users can access this file storage.
Override default transfer settings Select this checkbox to configure transfer bandwidth settings for the File Storage.

Override default transfer settings

Select the Override default transfer settings checkbox to reveal the following configuration options:

Initial Default Transfer Rate

Item Default
Initial upload rate: 10000 kbps
Initial download rate: 10000 kbps
Selecting Lock minimum rate and policy will disable the ability to adjust transfer policies or minimum transfer rates for clients accessing this file storage. (Clients are, for example, Connect and Enterprise Server.)

Default Maximum Allowed Rate

Item Description
Maximum upload rate: 20000 kbps
Maximum download rate: 20000 kbps

Relay Transfer Rate

Item Description
Incoming relay rate: 45000 kbps
Outgoing relay rate: 45000 kbps
When a relay takes place between two servers with differing transfer rates, the transfer will use the smaller transfer rate between the two servers. For example, if there is a relay from server A to server B where the outgoing relay rate of server A is 20,000 kbps and the incoming relay rate of server B is 10,000 kbps, then the resulting relay transfer rate will be 10,000 kbps.
Note: Faspex uses Relay Transfer Rates for packages with files from remote sources and for relays to custom inbox or to relay destinations.
