Using Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows with IBM Aspera High-Speed Add-on and Secure Proxy
You can send files using IBM Aspera High-Speed Add-on through Secure Proxy using Connect:Direct® for Microsoft Windows.
FASP is supported in Secure Proxy V3.4.3 or later. If you send a file from your local Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows node configured for FASP, it passes through your Secure Proxy instance using FASP, and is sent to the remote node.
fasp=(yes|no|ssp,yes|no|ssp)
The first parameter
is the default for Connect:Direct as the PNODE. The second parameter is the default for
Connect:Direct as the SNODE. This parameter can now be used in the netmap local node record and remote node trading partner record in Connect:Direct for Windows.
The following table shows results when Connect:Direct FASP protocol is used between two Connect:Direct nodes with no Sterling Secure Proxy involved.
