Configure HSTS in the GUI
The following references describe the server settings that can be configured in the HSTS GUI. Not all settings are available in the GUI; some must be set by using the command line or directly editing the HSTS configuration file, aspera.conf .
Docroot, file permission, and growing files configuration Docroot configuration options include the docroot and the file permissions. The absolute path, or docroot, is the area of the file system that is accessible to an Aspera transfer user. The default empty value allows access to the entire file system. You can set one global docroot and then further restrict access to the file system by group or individual user. Authorization configuration Authorization configuration options include connection permissions, token key, and encryption requirements.Server-Side Encryption-at-Rest (EAR) HSTS , server-side encryption-at-rest (EAR) saves files on disk in an encrypted state.
