Configuring Transfer Servers for Use with Shares

What is a Node?

A node is a local, remote, or cloud server running an Aspera transfer server product (IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Server). Shares uses the Node API on the transfer server to configure the node and to perform transfers to and from the node.

Configuring a Node for Use with Shares

Nodes do not have to run on the same platform as the Shares server. To set up your machine to run as a node, follow the instructions pertinent to the platform of the workstation.
