Bidirectional Example; Synchronizing With Aws S3 Storage - IBM Aspera HST Admin Manual

Bidirectional Example

Bidirectional synchronization syntax is similar to push or pull async sessions, as show in the following example.
Note: You can synchronize Windows, Linux, macOS, and other Unix-based endpoints and servers, but must take
care with path separators. The path separator "/" is supported on Windows and other platforms. The path separator "\"
is platform-agnostic only for the options -d/r/L/R/B/b and --keep-dir-local/remote. In Aspera Sync
filtering rules, however, "\" is exclusively a quoting operator and "/" is the only path separator recognized.
Example Options:
• Pair name = "asyncTwoWay"
• Local directory is /fio/S
• Remote directory and login is admin@192.168.200.218:d:/mnt/fio/S (Windows computer)
• Password is v00d00
• Target rate = 100,000 Kbps or 100 Mbps
• Transfer policy = fair
• Read-block size = 1048576 or 1MB
• Write-block size = 1048576 or 1MB
• Continuous transfer
• Bidirectional transfer
Example Command:
$ async -N asyncTwoWay -d /fio/S -r admin@192.168.200.218:d:/mnt/fio/S -w
v00d00 -l 100M -a fair -g 1M -G 1M -C -K BIDI

Synchronizing with AWS S3 Storage

Aspera Sync can be used to synchronize files when the source or destination is AWS S3 Cloud Object Storage.
Each endpoint (HST Server) of the async session must be configured to support Aspera Sync and the async must
include certain file system-related options.
Capabilities:
• Non-continuous PUSH, PULL, and BIDI synchronization between a local disk and AWS S3, as well as between
S3 buckets.
• Continuous PULL and BIDI when S3 is the content source; requires the --scan-interval option.
