Send the new and modified files with
ascp
or
ascp4
.
Use the
--source-prefix
option to append the watch directory path to the filepaths in the list:
# ascp --file-list=
filelist_pathname
--source-prefix=
prefix
--mode=send --
user=
username
--host=
host
target_directory
For example:
# ascp --file-list=/Users/aspera/filelist.txt --source-prefix=/projectA/
source --mode=send --user=aspera --host=10.0.0.1 /projectA/destination

Removing Files from the Target Directory
The
asdelete
utility compares the source directory with the target directory and deletes extraneous files from the
target directory. Run first with the
-d
option to do a dry run and view a list of files that would be deleted in an actual
run. If the initiator of the
asdelete
command is a Windows OS, files that contain ASCII characters (such as <, |, ?,
or ") are not deleted and an error is logged.
CAUTION:
asdelete
follows symbolic links, which can result in files being deleted that are not within
the target directory.
# /opt/aspera/bin/asdelete --host
host
--auth-name
username
--auth-
pass
password
/source_directory
/target_directory
For example:
# /opt/aspera/bin/asdelete --host 10.0.0.1 --auth-name aspera --auth-pass !
XF345lui@0 /projectA/source /projectA/destination
View the target directory to confirm deletion of the correct files.

Introduction
Learn about the key features and capabilities of IBM Aspera Sync.
Overview
IBM Aspera Sync is a software application that provides high-speed, highly-scalable, multi-directional, file-
based replication and synchronization. Aspera Sync is designed to fill the performance gap of uni-directional file
synchronization tools like
rsync
, which are often slow for synchronizing large files and large sets of files over the
WAN. Additionally, Aspera Sync surpasses the capability of uni-directional synchronization tools with full support
for bi-directional synchronization.
Aspera Sync offers the following key capabilities:
