Creating a Remote Node

This article provides a procedure for creating a remote node. A remote node may be an Aspera FASP node (for example. a remote file watcher, remote file operation, or FASP transfer-controlled node), an SSH node (for example, an ffmpeg transcoding or remote execution), or an IP node (for example, Vantage transcoding from a SOAP API).
