Select a transfer method

Aspera Enterprise Webapps requires one of two transfer methods to power high-speed transfers between user desktops and Aspera transfer servers. Users can either download and install Aspera for desktop; or an admin can configure the IBM Aspera HTTP Gateway and attach it to your Aspera Enterprise Webapps organization.

Aspera for desktop is the default transfer method for Aspera Enterprise Webapps and other Aspera web apps. However, if your deployment of Aspera Enterprise Webapps does not allow users to download and install client software, you can configure an alternative transfer method: the IBM Aspera HTTP Gateway. The Aspera HTTP Gateway is a standalone product that uses both HTTP/S and Aspera FASP to complete file transfers.
