Aspera Connect Server

Aspera Fast and Secure Protocol (FASP) integration is an alternative file management upload option. When in use, case administrators can select data from a local source and upload it to the appropriate ingest or import path for the case. Use Aspera as a faster option for uploading and staging the data to the correct location.

To use Aspera, users must have administrator rights on their computers and install the Aspera Connect browser plug-in. For more information, see Upload files.

Only system administrators can change these values. To set up an integration on the Aspera Connect Server page:

On the Portal Home page, click Settings > Aspera Connect Server.

Type the following information. All fields are mandatory, except for Enabled.

Connect Server Address: IP address of the Aspera Connect server.

Api Credentials: The user name and password used to connect to the Aspera Node API, in the following format: Username:password. The application uses the credentials when initializing transfers.

Api port: The port number for the Aspera Node API.

Connect User: User name for the web browser performing the file upload.

Connect Port: Port number for the web browser performing the file upload.

Enabled: Select to allow a case administrator to select Aspera for uploads once the plug-in is installed on their computer.
