Create a transfer user account.
A transfer user account is needed to start fasp file transfers on the Aspera On Demand server. In Console, go to Nodes > edit for the 127.0.0.1 entry.
Open the Accounts tab. On the Node Accounts page, either create a new user (Add User) or edit the account configuration for the existing xfer or xfer2 user as described below.
Using xfer or xfer2: These two pre-configured accounts are provided for your use. Both are assigned to have a document root on the server in the /mnt/ephemeral/data/$username folder.
Note: The xfer and xfer2 accounts are designed as transfer accounts to be used with a web application, and therefore have been configured to require a valid token. If you want to transfer with the xfer or xfer2 account using a standard Aspera client, you will need to disable token authorization. This can be done using the account configuration settings in Console On Demand (Nodes > Edit > Accounts).Creating a new transfer account: On the Node Maintenance page, open the Accounts tab and click the Add User button. The Creating New User page opens.
Enter the login information and click Create.
