Getting started as a transfer client
Aspera transfer clients connect to a remote Aspera transfer server and request a transfer with that server. Your Aspera application can be used as a client to initiate transfers with Aspera servers, as described in the following steps.
When you confirm that you can transfer with your server, your basic
setup is complete.
- If you want to automatically distribute files and folders to clients when they are added to a specific folder on the server, see Introduction to Watch Folders and the Aspera Watch Service.
- If you want to synchronize files with your server, with the ability to synchronize bidirectionally, see Introduction. The async tool requires an additional license to run.
For a comparison of automatic transfer tools, see Comparison of Aspera file delivery and synchronization tools.
