IBM Aspera Console On Demand is automatically configured with a localhost node with
two pre-configured accounts for your use: xfer and xfer2. Go to
Nodes and the 127.0.0.1 node appears on the list. Click
edit and click Accounts to view the two
accounts.Both are assigned a document root on the server in
/mnt/ephemeral/data/$username.
Configuring Accounts for Transfers with a Standard Aspera Client
The
xfer and
xfer2 accounts are designed as transfer accounts to be used with the
Shares 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,
disable token authorization. Go to the
Accounts tab on the localhost
node, click
edit for the account. Expand the Authorizations section and
clear
Override for Incoming Transfers and Outgoing Transfers.
You
can also create new transfer users on this node. To create a new transfer account, see Editing the User or Group on a Node.
