Before Upgrading or Downgrading
When upgrading or downgrading, Aspera recommends the following preparation to ensure a smooth process, minimal transfer disruption, and peace-of-mind that your original configuration is backed up in case of any problems.
Installing HSTS
To install HSTE , log into your computer with root permissions.
Configuring the Firewall
HSTE requires access through specific ports. If you cannot establish the connection, review your local corporate firewall settings and remove the port restrictions accordingly.
Configuring the SSH Server

Testing a Locally Initiated Transfer
To make sure the software is working properly, set up a connection with a server and test downloads and uploads.
Updating a Perpetual License
Update your perpetual license from the command line.
Uninstalling
