Based on Aspera’s fasp-AIR transport core, Aspera Faspex Mobile lets you upload and download packages to and from mobile-enabled Aspera Faspex servers. Uploads can be made from photos or videos in the photo library on your iPad or iPhone, or directly from your device's camera. Image and video content in downloads can be viewed in the app or saved to the photo library; other content can be viewed in compatible apps if they are installed on your iOS device.

High-speed fasp transfers for iPad and iPhone:

• Your iOS Faspex transfers are powered by Aspera fasp — packages are sent at high-speed, regardless of file sizes, transfer distance, or network conditions, while being fair to other network traffic.

• Reliable, with automatic retry and resume of interrupted transfers, and automatic switching between WiFi and phone networks.

• Real-time transfer progress and performance display.

Easy to use native iOS app:

• Uses "email" paradigm for sending and receiving Faspex packages.

• For video and picture content, thumbnails are shown for downloaded assets and for packages being composed, to help you work with the right assets.

• Delivered as a single universal app for iPad and iPhone.

Fully integrated with iOS and the photo library:

• The app interfaces with the photo library. Downloaded picture and video content can be saved in the library, and packages being composed can include content from it.

• Users can access the device camera directly to shoot pictures or videos for the package, without having to leave the app.


Interoperable with Faspex, Aspera Connect, and Cargo, and Outlook Add-in:

• Aspera Faspex is fully supported — packages originating from a Faspex server or other Faspex clients can be downloaded directly to an iPad or iPhone using this app.

• The app can send standard Faspex packages from the device. Those packages can then be downloaded using any Faspex client, any browser using Aspera Connect browser plug-in, or automatically to the desktop using Aspera Cargo.

Secure:

• If called for by the Faspex server, package contents are encrypted, over-the-wire.

• The sending user can also call for the content to be encrypted with the Aspera “encryption-at-rest” feature. Such packages remain encrypted in the Faspex server and are decrypted on the fly when downloaded by the recipient using the iOS Faspex app, using a shared secret.

To use this app, an account on a mobile-enabled Faspex server is required, and your Faspex and transfer servers must be mobile-enabled.


How to get started with Aspera Faspex Mobile:

1. Create a Faspex account in the app by entering your Faspex server name, and your Faspex account user name and password, in the Edit Account view. Upon successful completion, you will be taken to your Faspex account's Received packages view.

2. If you have any received packages, select one to download and click Download All. After downloading the package, images and videos in it can be viewed by clicking on an image/video thumbnail. A long press of a thumbnail will give you the option to save it in the photo library.

3. To compose and send a package, click on the Compose button, enter one or more Faspex recipients (or email addresses if your Faspex account is permitted to send to email recipients), a title, and an optional note to the recipients. Use the photo library icon to add images or videos from your photo library, or use the camera icon to take a new photo or movie to include in the package. Press Send to deliver your package via Faspex.

4. You can monitor the upload or download using the Transfer Monitor button. The transfer monitor view will show you a list of transfers, with the active transfer showing a progress bar, time remaining and a transfer rate. You can also stop and resume transfers in this view.
