Once you’ve configured your dropbox, you need to create a reusable connection between your Aspera client and your dropbox.
Make sure you have the dropbox name and IP address on hand for easy reference; you can find this information under Uploader accounts in the Settings left-side menu.
To create an Aspera connection:
-
Open your Aspera client.
-
Click the Connections icon to open the Connection Manager.
-
Click + to create a new connection.
-
Enter the hostname for your dropbox provided by your partner representative into the Host text box. The hostname should be one of the following and match your geographic location:
-
us.aspera.googleusercontent.com
-
eu.aspera.googleusercontent.com
-
asia.aspera.googleusercontent.com
-
-
Enter the dropbox name in the User text box. It should begin with "asp-"
-
Select Public Key as the authentication option, then choose the key for this dropbox from the list of available keys.
-
Click the Advanced button to display the Advanced Connection Settings.
-
Change the value for SSH Port (TCP) to 33001.
-
Click OK twice to save your changes and return to the main Aspera client screen.
Your new connection appears on the right side of the screen.
