IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Server (HSTS) and High-Speed Transfer Endpoint (HSTE) include a powerful Watch Folder feature that allows users to easily monitor filesystem changes and automatically transfer them via the Aspera FASP protocol.
Watch Folders can be configured through a number of avenues, including in Aspera Console, through the AsperaSCP GUI, and via API. One of the most popular ways of configuring Watch Folders is through the command line using the aswatchfolderadmin command.
Once a Watch Folder is configured and running, new files will automatically be transferred once detected. This article describes how to change the configuration on a running Watch Folder through the command line.
