Test FASP transfers initiated from a client computer.
Follow the steps below to test your server's incoming connections from
a client machine.
Important: The instructions require you to take steps on both
Point-to-Point and a client computer. Ensure that you are performing the task on the
indicated machine. As a prerequisite, you will need to have at least one transfer
user added to Point-to-Point. For instructions on doing so, please refer to the
topic
Setting up Users.
-
(On your client machine) Verify your connection to Point-to-Point.
On the client machine, use the ping command in a Command Prompt window to verify
connectivity to the host. In this example, the address of Point-to-Point is 10.0.0.2.
> ping 10.0.0.2
PING 10.0.0.2 (10.0.0.2): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.0.0.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=8.432 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.0.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=7.121 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.0.2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=5.116 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.0.2: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=4.421 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.0.2: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=3.050 ms

(On your client machine) Initiate a transfer to Point-to-Point.
Attempt to establish a connection from your client machine to Point-to-Point. To do so, run the following command on your client
machine (where asp1 is our example transfer user):
> ascp -P 33001 -T --policy=fair -l 10000 -m 1000 /client-dir/files asp1@10.0.0.2:/dir
| Item |
Value |
| Host Address |
10.0.0.2 |
| Transfer User |
asp1 |
| Files to upload |
/client-dir/files |
| Destination Folder |
{user's docroot}/dir |
| Transfer Options |
- Maximum transfer rate = 10 Mbps (-l
10000)
- Minimum transfer rate = 1 Mbps (-m
1000)
- Change default TCP port used for FASP session
initiation = 33001 (-P 33001). Please note
that this command does not alter ascp or your SSH server's
configuration.
- Disable encryption (-T)
- Fair transfer policy (--policy=fair)
