Server setup methods

Users, groups, and transfers can be configured in several ways, all of which modify the server configuration file aspera.conf.

• In the GUI

  Click Configuration to open the Configuration Manager. For descriptions of the configuration settings available in the GUI, see Set up users and groups in the GUI and Configure HSTS in the GUI.

• Running asconfigurator commands

  Run asconfigurator commands from Terminal to automatically insert parameter settings as well-formed XML into aspera.conf. Use of asconfigurator commands is described in Set up users and groups and Configure the server from the command line.

• Manually editing aspera.conf

  Open aspera.conf in a text editor with write permission and add or edit the text in XML format. Find aspera.conf in the following location:

  /Library/Aspera/etc/aspera.conf

  For templates of aspera.conf parameter settings, see Set up users and groups and Configure the server from the command line.
