Field
Description
Values
Default
Absolute Path
The absolute path, or docroot, is the area of the file
system that is accessible to an Aspera transfer user.
The default empty value allows access to the entire
file system. You can set one global docroot and then
further restrict access to the file system by group
or individual user. Docroot paths require specific
formatting depending on where the transfer server's
storage is located.
Format examples
• Local storage absolute path:
Or using a placeholder for usernames:
• Local storage in URI format:
URI format is required for server-side encryption-
at-rest, but is not supported by the Aspera Watch
Service.
Aspera recommends setting a global docroot to an
empty folder or a part of the file system specific
to each user. If there is a pattern in the docroot of
each user, for example,
username
, you can use a
substitutional string. This allows you to assign an
independent docroot to each user without setting it
individually for each user. See
Setting Up Users
for
information.
You can also set multiple docroots and make them
conditional based on the IP address from which the
connection is made by editing
aspera.conf
. To
