Save the file list for use in the transfer session.

Send the new and modified files with ascp or ascp4.

Use the --source-prefix option to append the watch directory path to the filepaths in the list:

# ascp --file-list=filelist_pathname --source-prefix=prefix --mode=send --

user=username --host=host target_directory

For example:

# ascp --file-list=/Users/aspera/filelist.txt --source-prefix=/projectA/

source --mode=send --user=aspera --host=10.0.0.1 /projectA/destination

Removing Files from the Target Directory

The asdelete utility compares the source directory with the target directory and deletes extraneous files from the

target directory. Run first with the -d option to do a dry run and view a list of files that would be deleted in an actual

run. If the initiator of the asdelete command is a Windows OS, files that contain ASCII characters (such as <, |, ?,

or ") are not deleted and an error is logged.

CAUTION: asdelete follows symbolic links, which can result in files being deleted that are not within

the target directory.

# /opt/aspera/bin/asdelete --host host --auth-name username --auth-

pass password /source_directory /target_directory

For example:

# /opt/aspera/bin/asdelete --host 10.0.0.1 --auth-name aspera --auth-pass !

XF345lui@0 /projectA/source /projectA/destination

View the target directory to confirm deletion of the correct files.

Introduction

Learn about the key features and capabilities of IBM Aspera Sync.

Overview

IBM Aspera Sync is a software application that provides high-speed, highly-scalable, multi-directional, file-

based replication and synchronization. Aspera Sync is designed to fill the performance gap of uni-directional file

synchronization tools like rsync, which are often slow for synchronizing large files and large sets of files over the

WAN. Additionally, Aspera Sync surpasses the capability of uni-directional synchronization tools with full support

for bi-directional synchronization.

Aspera Sync offers the following key capabilities:
