Ascp General Examples

Use the following Ascp examples to craft your own transfers.
To describe filepaths, use single-quote (' ') and forward-slashes (/) on all platforms. Avoid the following characters in
filenames: / \ " : ' ? > < & * |
Fair-policy transfer
•
Fair-policy transfer with maximum rate 100 Mbps and minimum at 1 Mbps, without encryption, transfer all files
in \local-dir\files to 10.0.0.2:
# ascp --policy=fair -l 100m -m 1m /local-dir/files root@10.0.0.2:/remote-dir
• Fixed-policy transfer
Fixed-policy transfer with target rate 100 Mbps, without encryption, transfer all files in \local-dir\files to
10.0.0.2:
# ascp -l 100m /local-dir/files root@10.0.0.2:/remote-dir
• Specify UDP port for transfer
Transfer using UDP port 42000:
# ascp -l 100m -O 42000 /local-dir/files user@10.0.0.2:/remote-dir
• Public key authentication
Transfer with public key authentication using the key file <home dir>/.ssh/aspera_user_1-key
local-dir/files:
$ ascp -l 10m -i ~/.ssh/aspera_user_1-key local-dir/files root@10.0.0.2:/remote-dir
• Username or filepath contains a space
Enclose the target in double-quotes when spaces are present in the username and remote path:
# ascp -l 100m local-dir/files "User Name@10.0.0.2:/remote directory"
Content is specified in a file pair list
•
Specify source content to transfer to various destinations in a file pair list. Source content is specified using
the full file or directory path. Destination directories are specified relative to the transfer user's docroot, which
is specified as a "." at the end of the ascp command. For example, the following is a simple file pair list,
filepairlist.txt that lists two source folders, folder1 and folder2, with two destinations, tmp1 and
tmp2:
/tmp/folder1
tmp1
/tmp/folder2
tmp2
# ascp --user=user_1 --host=10.0.0.2 --mode=send --file-pair-list=/tmp/
filepairlist.txt .
