Requirements for using Sync with Shares

If you are using Aspera Connect with a Shares transfer server, Connect can synchronize files and folders automatically between the remote server and the local computer.

Shares server configuration

To set up sync with a Shares server, the server must be configured for sync in its aspera.conf file and must have the appropriate license.

For more information about your server's configuration file and license, see the IBM Aspera Shares documentation.

Shares user permissions

Shares users who use Connect with sync features must be authorized to run create, delete, and rename file operations. The Shares admin can set these on the Authorizations tab.

Connect account configuration

You must have Connect accounts that can synchronize content with a Shares server.

For more information, see Adding a Shares account to Connect.

Sync configuration in Connect and in Shares

Pay close attention to the configuration of the sync relationship. In all cases, the settings on the Shares server override the settings locally in Connect. If your Shares server is not correctly configured, you might experience sync problems between the server and Connect users.

For more information, see the Aspera Sync section in the IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Server documentation.
