Configure the Server from the Command Line

The following references describe the server settings that can be configured for HST Server by using the command
line or directly editing the HST Server configuration file, aspera.conf.

aspera.conf - Authorization Configuration

The settings in the <authorization> section of aspera.conf include transfer permissions and token
configuration. Tokens are used by Aspera web applications to authorize transfers between Aspera clients and servers.
Note: For security, Aspera recommends denying incoming and outgoing transfers globally, then allowing transfers by
individual users, as needed. For a compilation of server security best practices, see
Practices on page 335.
