Starting the Aspera Watch Service
Sync can be configured to use asperawatchd for fast synchronization of large numbers of files without scanning the directory. Sync can push files from a local directory, pull files from a remote directory, or create a bidirectional session between two directories (on condition that asperawatchd is properly configured to monitor both directories).
About this task
To push files to a remote server by using Aspera Watch Service, configure asperawatchd on the local host. The remote server does not need to be configured. For instructions on starting asperawatchd for a push Sync, see Starting Aspera Watch Services and creating Watches.
To pull files from a remote host, configure asperawatchd on the remote host. See the following steps for configuration instructions. The local host does not need to be configured.
