Package relays

Edit online

A package relay transfers copies of files uploaded to a source node to specified nodes. Package relays preserve the package directory structure.

When a user uploads files to a custom inbox with direct upload or to the default inbox, Faspex creates the following package directory structure on the destination node:

package_title - package_id.aspera-package/
|-- PKG - package_title
    |-- folder1
        |-- file1
    |-- file2

Once the initial transfer to the initial destination node has completed, then Faspex starts the package relay to copy that entire directory structure to the new destination. The new destination can be:

A workgroup or shared inbox custom inbox without direct upload configured.
Destinations specified by package metadata.
