Testing a Transfer

To make sure the software is working properly, set up a connection with a server and test downloads and uploads.

1. Launch the application.
   Click Macintosh HD > Applications > Aspera Client.
2. Add the server in the Connection Manager.
   Click Connections.

   In the Connection Manager, click to add a new connection, click OK to create a standard connection, and enter the following information (with the appropriate values for your server), leaving the other options with their default values or blank:

   Field	Value
   Host	my_demo.example.com
   User	my_user_name
   Authentication (Password)	my_password

3. Test your connection to the remote server.
   Click Test Connection to determine whether you can reach the remote server with the settings you configured. An alert box opens and reports whether the connection is successful.
4. Connect to the server and download test files.
   From the main window, select the server entry and click the Connect button.

   On the server file browser (right panel), browse to a folder with a file that you want to use, select the file, and click to download it to your local machine.

   You should see the session appear in the Transfer pane.

5. Upload to the server.
   Select the same file (100MB) on the local file browser (left panel), go to the folder /Upload on the server, and click to upload it.
