-

- This gem provides the <%=tool%> Command Line Interface to IBM Aspera software.
10
-
11
- <%=tool%> is a also great tool to learn Aspera APIs.
12
-
13
- Ruby Gem: [<%=gemspec.metadata['rubygems_uri']%>](<%=gemspec.metadata['rubygems_uri']%>)
14
-

20
-
21
- # <a id="when_to_use"></a>When to use and when not to use
22
-
23
- <%=tool%> is designed to be used as a command line tool to:
24
-
25
- * execute commands on Aspera products
26
- * transfer to/from Aspera products
27
-
28
- So it is designed for:
29
-
30
- * Interactive operations on a text terminal (typically, VT100 compatible)
31
- * Batch operations in (shell) scripts (e.g. cron job)
32
-
33
- <%=tool%> can be seen as a command line tool integrating:
34
-
35
- * a configuration file (config.yaml)
36
- * advanced command line options
37
- * cURL (for REST calls)
38
- * Aspera transfer (ascp)
39
-
40
- One might be tempted to use it as an integration element, e.g. by building a command line programmatically, and then executing it. It is generally not a good idea.
41
- For such integration cases, e.g. performing operations and transfer to aspera products, it is preferred to use [Aspera APIs](https://ibm.biz/aspera_api):
42
-
43
- * Product APIs (REST) : e.g. AoC, Faspex, node
44
- * Transfer SDK : with gRPC interface and language stubs (C, C++, Python, .NET/C#, java, ruby, etc...)
45
-
46
- Using APIs (application REST API and transfer SDK) will prove to be easier to develop and maintain.
47
-
48
- For scripting and ad'hoc command line operations, <%=tool%> is perfect.
49
-
50
- # <a id="parsing"></a>Notations, Shell and Command line parsing
51
-
52
- In examples, command line operations are shown using a shell such: `bash` or `zsh`.
53
-
54
- Command line parameters in examples beginning with `my_`, like `my_param_value` are user-provided value and not fixed value commands.
55
-
56
- <%=tool%> is typically executed in a shell, either interactively or in a script. <%=tool%> receives its arguments from this shell.
57
-
58
- On Linux and Unix environments, this is typically a POSIX shell (bash, zsh, ksh, sh). In this environment shell command line parsing applies before <%=tool%> (Ruby) is executed, e.g. [bash shell operation](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#Shell-Operation). Ruby receives a list parameters and gives it to <%=tool%>. So special character handling (quotes, spaces, env vars, ...) is done in the shell.
59
-
60
- On Windows, `cmd.exe` is typically used. Windows process creation does not receive the list of arguments but just the whole line. It's up to the program to parse arguments. Ruby follows the Microsoft C/C++ parameter parsing rules.
61
-
62
- * [Windows: How Command Line Parameters Are Parsed](https://daviddeley.com/autohotkey/parameters/parameters.htm#RUBY)
63
- * [Understand Quoting and Escaping of Windows Command Line Arguments](http://www.windowsinspired.com/understanding-the-command-line-string-and-arguments-received-by-a-windows-program/)
64
-
65
- In case of doubt of argument values after parsing test like this:
66
-
67
- ```
68
- <%=cmd%> conf echo "Hello World" arg2 3
69
- ```
70
-
71
- ```
72
- "Hello World"
73
- ERROR: Argument: unprocessed values: ["arg2", "3"]
74
- ```
75
-
76
- `echo` displays the value of the first argument using ruby syntax (strings get double quotes) after command line parsing (shell) and extended value parsing (<%=tool%>), next command line arguments are shown in the error message.

- # Quick Start
79
-
80
- This section guides you from installation, first use and advanced use.
81
-
82
- First, follow the section: [Installation](#installation) (Ruby, Gem, FASP) to start using <%=tool%>.
83
-
84
- Once the gem is installed, <%=tool%> shall be accessible:
85
-
86
- ```
87
- <%=cmd%> --version
88
- ```
89
-
90
- ```
91
- <%=gemspec.version.to_s%>
92
- ```
93
-
94
- ## First use
95
-
96
- Once installation is completed, you can proceed to the first use with a demo server:
97
-
98
- If you want to test with Aspera on Cloud, jump to section: [Wizard](#aocwizard)
99
-
100
- To test with Aspera demo transfer server, setup the environment and then test:
101
-
102
- ```
103
- <%=cmd%> config initdemo
104
- ```
105
-
106
- ```
107
- <%=cmd%> server browse /
108
- ```
109
-
110
- ```

120
-
121
- If you want to use <%=tool%> with another server, and in order to make further calls more convenient, it is advised to define a <%=prst%> for the server's authentication options. The following example will:
122
-
123
- * create a <%=prst%>
124
- * define it as default for `server` plugin
125
- * list files in a folder
126
- * download a file
127
-
128
- ```

175
-
176
- ## Going further
177
-
178
- Get familiar with configuration, options, commands : [Command Line Interface](#cli).
179
-
180
- Then, follow the section relative to the product you want to interact with ( Aspera on Cloud, Faspex, ...) : [Application Plugins](plugins)
181
-
182
- # <a id="installation"></a>Installation
183
-
184
- It is possible to install *either* directly on the host operating system (Linux, Windows, macOS) or as a docker container.
185
-
186
- The direct installation is recommended and consists in installing:
187
-
188
- * [Ruby](#ruby) version <%=gemspec.required_ruby_version%>
189
- * [<%=gemspec.name%>](#the_gem)
190
- * [Aspera SDK (ascp)](#fasp_prot)
191
-
192
- The following sections provide information on the various installation methods.
193
-
194
- An internet connection is required for the installation. If you don't have internet for the installation, refer to section [Installation without internet access](#offline_install).
195
-
196
- ## Docker container
197
-
198
- Use this method only if you know what you do, else use the standard recommended method as described here above.
199
-
200
- This method installs a docker image that contains: Ruby, <%=tool%> and the FASP sdk.
201
-
202
- The image is: [https://hub.docker.com/r/martinlaurent/ascli](https://hub.docker.com/r/martinlaurent/ascli)
203
-
204
- Ensure that you have Docker installed.
205
-
206
- ```
207
- docker --version
208
- ```
209
-
210
- Download the wrapping script:
211
-
212
- ```
213
- curl -o <%=cmd%> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IBM/aspera-cli/develop/bin/dascli
214
- ```
215
-
216
- ```
217
- chmod a+x <%=cmd%>
218
- ```
219
-
220
- Install the container image:
221
-
222
- ```
223
- ./<%=cmd%> install
224
- ```
225
-
226
- Start using it !
227
-
228
- Note that the tool is run in the container, so transfers are also executed in the container, not calling host.
229
-
230
- The wrapping script maps the container folder `/usr/src/app/config` to configuration folder `$HOME/.aspera/<%=cmd%>` on host.
231
-
232
- To transfer to/from the native host, you will need to map a volume in docker or use the config folder (already mapped).
233
- To add local storage as a volume edit the script: <%=tool%> and add a `--volume` stanza.
234
-
235
- ## <a id="ruby"></a>Ruby
236
-
237
- Use this method to install on the native host.
238
-
239
- A ruby interpreter is required to run the tool or to use the gem and tool.
240
-
241
- Required Ruby version: <%=gemspec.required_ruby_version%>. Ruby version 3 is also supported.
242
-
243
- *Ruby can be installed using any method* : rpm, yum, dnf, rvm, brew, windows installer, ... .
244
-
245
- Refer to the following sections for a proposed method for specific operating systems.
246
-
247
- The recommended installation method is `rvm` for systems with "bash-like" shell (Linux, macOS, Windows with cygwin, etc...).
248
- If the generic install is not suitable (e.g. Windows, no cygwin), you can use one of OS-specific install method.
249
- If you have a simpler better way to install Ruby version <%=gemspec.required_ruby_version%> : use it !
250
-
251
- ### Generic: RVM: single user installation (not root)
252
-
253
- Use this method which provides more flexibility.
254
-
255
- Install "rvm": follow [https://rvm.io/](https://rvm.io/) :
256
-
257
- Install the 2 keys
258
-
259
- ```

263
- Execute the shell/curl command. As regular user, it install in the user's home: `~/.rvm` .
264
-
265
- ```
266
- \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
267
- ```
268
-
269
- If you keep the same terminal (not needed if re-login):
270
-
271
- ```
272
- source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
273
- ```
274
-
275
- It is advised to get one of the pre-compiled ruby version, you can list with:
276
-
277
- ```
278
- rvm list --remote
279
- ```
280
-
281
- Install the chosen pre-compiled Ruby version:
282
-
283
- ```
284
- rvm install 2.7.2 --binary
285
- ```
286
-
287
- Ruby is now installed for the user, go on to Gem installation.
288
-
289
- ### Generic: RVM: global installation (as root)
290
-
291
- Follow the same method as single user install, but execute as "root".
292
-
293
- As root, it installs by default in /usr/local/rvm for all users and creates `/etc/profile.d/rvm.sh`.
294
- One can install in another location with :
295
-
296
- ```
297
- curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s -- --path /usr/local
298
- ```
299
-
300
- As root, make sure this will not collide with other application using Ruby (e.g. Faspex).
301
- If so, one can rename the login script: `mv /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh.ok`.
302
- To activate ruby (and <%=cmd%>) later, source it:
303
-
304
- ```
305
- source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh.ok
306
- ```
307
-
308
- ```
309
- rvm version
310
- ```
311
-
312
- ### Windows: Installer
313
-
314
- Install Latest stable Ruby using [https://rubyinstaller.org/](https://rubyinstaller.org/) :
315
-
316
- * Go to "Downloads".
317
- * Select the Ruby 2 version "without devkit", x64 corresponding to the one recommended "with devkit". Devkit is not needed.
318
- * At the end of the installer uncheck the box to skip the installation of "MSys2": not needed.
319
-
320
- ### macOS: pre-installed or `brew`
321
-
322
- macOS 10.13+ (High Sierra) comes with a recent Ruby. So you can use it directly. You will need to install <%=gemspec.name%> using `sudo` :
323
-
324
- ```
325
- sudo gem install <%=gemspec.name%><%=geminstadd%>
326
- ```
327
-
328
- Alternatively, if you use [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) already you can install Ruby with it:
329
-
330
- ```
331
- brew install ruby
332
- ```
333
-
334
- ### Linux: package
335
-
336
- If your Linux distribution provides a standard ruby package, you can use it provided that the version is compatible (check at beginning of section).
337
-
338
- Example:
339
-
340
- ```
341
- yum install -y ruby rubygems ruby-json
342
- ```
343
-
344
- One can cleanup the whole yum-installed ruby environment like this to uninstall:
345
-
346
- ```
347
- gem uninstall $(ls $(gem env gemdir)/gems/|sed -e 's/-[^-]*$//'|sort -u)
348
- ```
349
-
350
- ```
351
- yum remove -y ruby ruby-libs
352
- ```
353
-
354
- ### Other Unixes: Aix, etc...
355
-
356
- If your Unix does not provide a pre-built ruby, you can get it using one of those
357
- [methods](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/installation/)
358
-
359
- For instance to build from source, and install in `/opt/ruby` :
360
-
361
- ```
362
- wget https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.7/ruby-2.7.2.tar.gz
363
-
364
- gzip -d ruby-2.7.2.tar.gz
365
-
366
- tar xvf ruby-2.7.2.tar
367
-
368
- cd ruby-2.7.2
369
-
370
- ./configure --prefix=/opt/ruby
371
-
372
- make ruby.imp
373
-
374
- make
375
-
376
- make install
377
- ```
378
-
379
- ## <a id="the_gem"></a>`<%=gemspec.name%>` gem
380
-
381
- Once you have Ruby and rights to install gems: Install the gem and its dependencies:
382
-
383
- ```
384
- gem install <%=gemspec.name%><%=geminstadd%>
385
- ```
386
-
387
- To upgrade to the latest version:
388
-
389
- ```
390
- gem update <%=gemspec.name%>
391
- ```
392
-
393
- <%=tool%> checks every week if a new version is available and notify the user in a WARN log. To de-activate this feature set the option `version_check_days` to `0`, or specify a different period in days.
394
-
395
- To check manually:
396
-
397
- ```
398
- <%=cmd%> conf check_update
399
- ```
400
-
401
- ## <a id="fasp_prot"></a>FASP Protocol
402
-
403
- Most file transfers will be done using the FASP protocol, using `ascp`.
404
- Only two additional files are required to perform an Aspera Transfer, which are part of Aspera SDK:
405
-
406
- * ascp
407
- * aspera-license (in same folder, or ../etc)
408
-
409
- This can be installed either be installing an Aspera transfer software, or using an embedded command:
410
-
411
- ```
412
- <%=cmd%> conf ascp install
413
- ```
414
-
415
- If a local SDK installation is preferred instead of fetching from internet: one can specify the location of the SDK file:
416
-
417
- ```
418
- curl -Lso SDK.zip https://ibm.biz/aspera_sdk
419
- ```
420
-
421
- ```
422
- <%=cmd%> conf ascp install --sdk-url=file:///SDK.zip
423
- ```
424
-
425
- The format is: `file:///<path>`, where `<path>` can be either a relative path (not starting with `/`), or an absolute path.
426
-
427
- If the embedded method is not used, the following packages are also suitable:
428
-
429
- * IBM Aspera Connect Client (Free)
430
- * IBM Aspera Desktop Client (Free)
431
- * IBM Aspera CLI (Free)
432
- * IBM Aspera High Speed Transfer Server (Licensed)
433
- * IBM Aspera High Speed Transfer EndPoint (Licensed)
434
-
435
- For instance, Aspera Connect Client can be installed
436
- by visiting the page: [https://www.ibm.com/aspera/connect/](https://www.ibm.com/aspera/connect/).
437
-
438
- <%=tool%> will detect most of Aspera transfer products in standard locations and use the first one found.
439
- Refer to section [FASP](#client) for details on how to select a client or set path to the FASP protocol.
440
-
441
- Several methods are provided to start a transfer.
442
- Use of a local client ([`direct`](#agt_direct) transfer agent) is one of them, but other methods are available. Refer to section: [Transfer Agents](#agents)
443
-
444
- ## <a id="offline_install"></a>Installation in air gapped environment
445
-
446
- Note that currently no pre-packaged version exist yet.
447
- A method to build one is provided here:
448
-
449
- The procedure:
450
-
451
- * Follow the non-root installation procedure with RVM, including gem
452
- * Archive (zip, tar) the main RVM folder (includes <%=cmd%>):
453
-
454
- ```
455
- cd $HOME && tar zcvf rvm-<%=cmd%>.tgz .rvm
456
- ```
457
-
458
- * Get the Aspera SDK.
459
-
460
- ```
461
- <%=cmd%> conf --show-config --fields=sdk_url
462
- ```
463
-
464
- * Download the SDK archive from that URL.
465
-
466
- ```
467
- curl -Lso SDK.zip https://ibm.biz/aspera_sdk
468
- ```
469
-
470
- * Transfer those 2 files to the target system
471
-
472
- * On target system
473
-
474
- ```
475
- cd $HOME
476
-
477
- tar zxvf rvm-<%=cmd%>.tgz
478
-
479
- source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
480
-
481
- <%=cmd%> conf ascp install --sdk-url=file:///SDK.zip
482
- ```
483
-
484
- * Add those lines to shell init (`.profile`)
485
-
486
- ```
487
- source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
488
- ```
489
-
490
- # <a id="cli"></a>Command Line Interface: <%=tool%>
491
-
492
- The `<%=gemspec.name%>` Gem provides a command line interface (CLI) which interacts with Aspera Products (mostly using REST APIs):
493
-
494
- * IBM Aspera High Speed Transfer Server (FASP and Node)
495
- * IBM Aspera on Cloud (including ATS)
496
- * IBM Aspera Faspex
497
- * IBM Aspera Shares
498
- * IBM Aspera Console
499
- * IBM Aspera Orchestrator
500
- * and more...
501
-
502
- <%=tool%> provides the following features:
503
-
504
- * Supports most Aspera server products (on-premise and SaaS)
505
- * Any command line options (products URL, credentials or any option) can be provided on command line, in configuration file, in env var, in files
506
- * Supports Commands, Option values and Parameters shortcuts
507
- * FASP [Transfer Agents](#agents) can be: local ascp, or Connect Client, or any transfer node
508
- * Transfer parameters can be altered by modification of _transfer-spec_, this includes requiring multi-session
509
- * Allows transfers from products to products, essentially at node level (using the node transfer agent)
510
- * Supports FaspStream creation (using Node API)
511
- * Supports Watchfolder creation (using Node API)
512
- * Additional command plugins can be written by the user
513
- * Supports download of faspex and Aspera on Cloud "external" links
514
- * Supports "legacy" ssh based FASP transfers and remote commands (ascmd)
515
-
516
- Basic usage is displayed by executing:
517
-
518
- ```
519
- <%=cmd%> -h
520
- ```
521
-
522
- Refer to sections: [Usage](#usage) and [Sample Commands](#commands).
523
-
524
- Not all <%=tool%> features are fully documented here, the user may explore commands on the command line.
525
-
526
- ## Arguments : Commands and options
527
-
528
- Arguments are the units of command line, as parsed by the shell, typically separated by spaces (and called "argv").
529
-
530
- There are two types of arguments: Commands and Options. Example :
531
-
532
- ```
533
- <%=cmd%> command --option-name=VAL1 VAL2
534
- ```
535
-
536
- * executes _command_: `command`
537
- * with one _option_: `option_name`
538
- * this option has a _value_ of: `VAL1`
539
- * the command has one additional _argument_: `VAL2`
540
-
541
- When the value of a command, option or argument is constrained by a fixed list of values, it is possible to use the first letters of the value only, provided that it uniquely identifies a value. For example `<%=cmd%> conf ov` is the same as `<%=cmd%> config overview`.
542
-
543
- The value of options and arguments is evaluated with the [Extended Value Syntax](#extended).
544
-
545
- ### Options
546
-
547
- All options, e.g. `--log-level=debug`, are command line arguments that:
548
-
549
- * start with `--`
550
- * have a name, in lowercase, using `-` as word separator in name (e.g. `--log-level=debug`)
551
- * have a value, separated from name with a `=`
552
- * can be used by prefix, provided that it is unique. E.g. `--log-l=debug` is the same as `--log-level=debug`
553
-
554
- Exceptions:
555
-
556
- * some options accept a short form, e.g. `-Ptoto` is equivalent to `--preset=toto`, refer to the manual or `-h`.
557
- * some options (flags) don't take a value, e.g. `-r`
558
- * the special option `--` stops option processing and is ignored, following command line arguments are taken as arguments, including the ones starting with a `-`. Example:
559
-
560
- ```
561
- <%=cmd%> config echo -- --sample
562
- ```
563
-
564
- ```
565
- "--sample"
566
- ```
567
-
568
- Note that `--sample` is taken as an argument, and not option.
569
-
570
- Options can be optional or mandatory, with or without (hardcoded) default value. Options can be placed anywhere on command line and evaluated in order.
571
-
572
- The value for _any_ options can come from the following locations (in this order, last value evaluated overrides previous value):
573
-
574
- * [Configuration file](#configfile).
575
- * Environment variable
576
- * Command line
577
-
578
- Environment variable starting with prefix: <%=evp%> are taken as option values,
579
- e.g. `<%=evp%>OPTION_NAME` is for `--option-name`.
580
-
581
- Options values can be displayed for a given command by providing the `--show-config` option: `<%=cmd%> node --show-config`
582
-
583
- ### Commands and Arguments
584
-
585
- Command line arguments that are not options are either commands or arguments. If an argument must begin with `-`, then either use the `@val:` syntax (see [Extended Values](#extended)), or use the `--` separator (see above).
586
-
587
- ## Interactive Input
588
-
589
- Some options and parameters are mandatory and other optional. By default, the tool will ask for missing mandatory options or parameters for interactive execution.
590
-
591
- The behavior can be controlled with:
592
-
593
- * --interactive=&lt;yes|no&gt; (default=yes if STDIN is a terminal, else no)
594
- * yes : missing mandatory parameters/options are asked to the user
595
- * no : missing mandatory parameters/options raise an error message
596
- * --ask-options=&lt;yes|no&gt; (default=no)
597
- * optional parameters/options are asked to user
598
-
599
- ## Output
600
-
601
- Command execution will result in output (terminal, stdout/stderr).
602
- The information displayed depends on the action.
603
-
604
- ### Types of output data
605
-
606
- Depending on action, the output will contain:
607
-
608
- * `single_object` : displayed as a 2 dimensional table: one line per attribute, first column is attribute name, and second is attribute value. Nested hashes are collapsed.
609
- * `object_list` : displayed as a 2 dimensional table: one line per item, one column per attribute.
610
- * `value_list` : a table with one column.
611
- * `empty` : nothing
612
- * `status` : a message
613
- * `other_struct` : a complex structure that cannot be displayed as an array
614
-
615
- ### Format of output
616
-
617
- By default, result of type single_object and object_list are displayed using format `table`.
618
- The table style can be customized with parameter: `table_style` (horizontal, vertical and intersection characters) and is `:.:` by default.
619
-
620
- In a table format, when displaying "objects" (single, or list), by default, sub object are
621
- flatten (option flat_hash). So, object {"user":{"id":1,"name":"toto"}} will have attributes: user.id and user.name. Setting `flat_hash` to `false` will only display one
622
- field: "user" and value is the sub hash table. When in flatten mode, it is possible to
623
- filter fields by "dotted" field name.
624
-
625
- The style of output can be set using the `format` parameter, supporting:
626
-
627
- * `table` : Text table
628
- * `ruby` : Ruby code
629
- * `json` : JSON code
630
- * `jsonpp` : JSON pretty printed
631
- * `yaml` : YAML
632
- * `csv` : Comma Separated Values
633
-
634
- ### <a id="option_select"></a>Option: `select`: Filter on columns values for `object_list`
635
-
636
- Table output can be filtered using the `select` parameter. Example:
637
-
638
- ```
639
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res user list --fields=name,email,ats_admin --query=@json:'{"sort":"name"}' --select=@json:'{"ats_admin":true}'
640
- ```
641
-
642
- ```
643
- :...............................:..................................:...........:
644
- : name : email : ats_admin :
645
- :...............................:..................................:...........:
646
- : John Custis : john@example.com : true :
647
- : Laurent Martin : laurent@example.com : true :
648
- :...............................:..................................:...........:
649
- ```
650
-
651
- Note that `select` filters selected elements from the result of API calls, while the `query` parameters gives filtering parameters to the API when listing elements.
652
-
653
- ### Verbosity of output
654
-
655
- Output messages are categorized in 3 types:
656
-
657
- * `info` output contain additional information, such as number of elements in a table
658
- * `data` output contain the actual output of the command (object, or list of objects)
659
- * `error`output contain error messages
660
-
661
- The option `display` controls the level of output:
662
-
663
- * `info` displays all messages
664
- * `data` display `data` and `error` messages
665
- * `error` display only error messages.
666
-
667
- ### Selection of output object properties
668
-
669
- By default, a table output will display one line per entry, and columns for each entries. Depending on the command, columns may include by default all properties, or only some selected properties. It is possible to define specific columns to be displayed, by setting the `fields` option to one of the following value:
670
-
671
- * DEF : default display of columns (that's the default, when not set)
672
- * ALL : all columns available
673
- * a,b,c : the list of attributes specified by the comma separated list
674
- * Array extended value: for instance, @json:'["a","b","c"]' same as above
675
- * +a,b,c : add selected properties to the default selection.
676
- * -a,b,c : remove selected properties from the default selection.
677
-
678
- ## <a id="extended"></a>Extended Value Syntax
679
-
680
- Usually, values of options and arguments are specified by a simple string. But sometime it is convenient to read a value from a file, or decode it, or have a value more complex than a string (e.g. Hash table).
681
-
682
- The extended value syntax is:
683
-
684
- ```
685
- <0 or more decoders><0 or 1 reader><nothing or some text value>
686
- ```
687
-
688
- The difference between reader and decoder is order and ordinality. Both act like a function of value on right hand side. Decoders are at the beginning of the value, followed by a single optional reader, followed by the optional value.
689
-
690
- The following "readers" are supported (returns value in []):
691
-
692
- * @val:VALUE : [String] prevent further special prefix processing, e.g. `--username=@val:laurent` sets the option `username` to value `laurent`.
693
- * @file:PATH : [String] read value from a file (prefix "~/" is replaced with the users home folder), e.g. --key=@file:~/.ssh/mykey
694
- * @path:PATH : [String] performs path expansion (prefix "~/" is replaced with the users home folder), e.g. --config-file=@path:~/sample_config.yml
695
- * @env:ENVVAR : [String] read from a named env var, e.g.--password=@env:MYPASSVAR
696
- * @stdin: : [String] read from stdin (no value on right)
697
- * @preset:NAME : [Hash] get whole <%=opprst%> value by name
698
-
699
- In addition it is possible to decode a value, using one or multiple decoders :
700
-
701
- * @base64: [String] decode a base64 encoded string
702
- * @json: [any] decode JSON values (convenient to provide complex structures)
703
- * @zlib: [String] uncompress data
704
- * @ruby: [any] execute ruby code
705
- * @csvt: [Array] decode a titled CSV value
706
- * @lines: [Array] split a string in multiple lines and return an array
707
- * @list: [Array] split a string in multiple items taking first character as separator and return an array
708
- * @incps: [Hash] include values of presets specified by key `incps` in input hash
709
-
710
- To display the result of an extended value, use the `config echo` command.
711
-
712
- Example: read the content of the specified file, then, base64 decode, then unzip:
713
-
714
- ```
715
- <%=cmd%> config echo @zlib:@base64:@file:myfile.dat
716
- ```
717
-
718
- Example: create a value as a hash, with one key and the value is read from a file:
719
-
720
- ```
721
- <%=cmd%> config echo @ruby:'{"token_verification_key"=>File.read("pubkey.txt")}'
722
- ```
723
-
724
- Example: read a csv file and create a list of hash for bulk provisioning:
725
-
726
- ```
727
- cat test.csv
728
- ```

748
-
749
- Example: create a hash and include values from preset named "config" of config file in this hash
750
-
751
- ```
752
- <%=cmd%> config echo @incps:@json:'{"hello":true,"incps":["config"]}'
753
- ```
754
-
755
- ```
756
- {"version"=>"0.9", "hello"=>true}
757
- ```
758
-
759
- Note that `@incps:@json:'{"incps":["config"]}'` or `@incps:@ruby:'{"incps"=>["config"]}'` is equivalent to: `@preset:config`
760
-
761
- ## <a id="native"></a>Structured Value
762
-
763
- Some options and parameters expect a _Structured Value_, i.e. a value more complex than a simple string. This is usually a Hash table or an Array, which could also contain sub structures.
764
-
765
- For instance, a [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec) is expected to be a _Structured Value_.
766
-
767
- Structured values shall be described using the [Extended Value Syntax](#extended).
768
- A convenient way to specify a _Structured Value_ is to use the `@json:` decoder, and describe the value in JSON format. The `@ruby:` decoder can also be used. For an array of hash tables, the `@csvt:` decoder can be used.
769
-
770
- It is also possible to provide a _Structured Value_ in a file using `@json:@file:<path>`
771
-
772
- ## <a id="conffolder"></a>Configuration and Persistency Folder
773
-
774
- <%=tool%> configuration and other runtime files (token cache, file lists, persistency files, SDK) are stored in folder `[User's home folder]/.aspera/<%=cmd%>`.
775
-
776
- Note: `[User's home folder]` is found using ruby's `Dir.home` (`rb_w32_home_dir`).
777
- It uses the `HOME` env var primarily, and on MS Windows it also looks at `%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%` and `%USERPROFILE%`. <%=tool%> sets the env var `%HOME%` to the value of `%USERPROFILE%` if set and exists. So, on Windows `%USERPROFILE%` is used as it is more reliable than `%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%`.
778
-
779
- The main folder can be displayed using :
780
-
781
- ```
782
- <%=cmd%> config folder
783
- ```
784
-
785
- ```
786
- /Users/kenji/.aspera/<%=cmd%>
787
- ```
788
-
789
- It can be overridden using the environment variable `<%=evp%>HOME`.
790
-
791
- Example (Windows):
792
-
793
- ```
794
- set <%=evp%>HOME=C:\Users\Kenji\.aspera\<%=cmd%>
795
- <%=cmd%> config folder
796
- C:\Users\Kenji\.aspera\<%=cmd%>
797
- ```
798
-
799
- ## <a id="configfile"></a>Configuration file
800
-
801
- On the first execution of <%=tool%>, an empty configuration file is created in the configuration folder.
802
- Nevertheless, there is no mandatory information required in this file, the use of it is optional as any option can be provided on the command line.
803
-
804
- Although the file is a standard YAML file, <%=tool%> provides commands to read and modify it using the `config` command.
805
-
806
- All options for <%=tool%> can be set on command line, or by env vars, or using <%=prsts%> in the configuration file.
807
-
808
- A configuration file provides a way to define default values, especially for authentication parameters, thus avoiding to always having to specify those parameters on the command line.
809
-
810
- The default configuration file is: `$HOME/.aspera/<%=cmd%>/config.yaml` (this can be overridden with option `--config-file=path` or equivalent env var).
811
-
812
- The configuration file is simply a catalog of pre-defined lists of options, called: <%=prsts%>. Then, instead of specifying some common options on the command line (e.g. address, credentials), it is possible to invoke the ones of a <%=prst%> (e.g. `mypreset`) using the option: `-Pmypreset` or `--preset=mypreset`.
813
-
814
- ### <a id="lprt"></a><%=prstt%>
815
-
816
- A <%=prst%> is simply a collection of parameters and their associated values in a named section in the configuration file.
817
-
818
- A named <%=prst%> can be modified directly using <%=tool%>, which will update the configuration file :
819
-
820
- ```
821
- <%=cmd%> config preset set|delete|show|initialize|update <<%=opprst%>>
822
- ```
823
-
824
- The command `update` allows the easy creation of <%=prst%> by simply providing the options in their command line format, e.g. :
825
-
826
- ```
827
- <%=cmd%> config preset update demo_server --url=ssh://demo.asperasoft.com:33001 --username=asperaweb --password=_demo_pass_ --ts=@json:'{"precalculate_job_size":true}'
828
- ```
829
-
830
- * This creates a <%=prst%> `demo_server` with all provided options.
831
-
832
- The command `set` allows setting individual options in a <%=prst%>.
833
-
834
- ```
835
- <%=cmd%> config preset set demo_server password _demo_pass_
836
- ```
837
-
838
- The command `initialize`, like `update` allows to set several parameters at once, but it deletes an existing configuration instead of updating it, and expects a _[Structured Value](#native)_.
839
-
840
- ```
841
- <%=cmd%> config preset initialize demo_server @json:'{"url":"ssh://demo.asperasoft.com:33001","username":"asperaweb","password":"_demo_pass_","ts":{"precalculate_job_size":true}}'
842
- ```
843
-
844
- A full terminal based overview of the configuration can be displayed using:
845
-
846
- ```
847
- <%=cmd%> config preset over
848
- ```
849
-
850
- A list of <%=prst%> can be displayed using:
851
-
852
- ```
853
- <%=cmd%> config preset list
854
- ```
855
-
856
- A good practice is to not manually edit the configuration file and use modification commands instead.
857
- If necessary, the configuration file can opened in a text editor with:
858
-
859
- ```
860
- <%=cmd%> config open
861
- ```
862
-
863
- Older format for commands are still supported:
864
-
865
- ```
866
- <%=cmd%> config id <name> set|delete|show|initialize|update
867
- <%=cmd%> config over
868
- <%=cmd%> config list
869
- ```
870
-
871
-
872
- ### <a id="lprtconf"></a>Special <%=prstt%>: config
873
-
874
- This preset name is reserved and contains a single key: `version`. This is the version of <%=tool%> which created the file.
875
-
876
- ### <a id="lprtdef"></a>Special <%=prstt%>: default
877
-
878
- This preset name is reserved and contains an array of key-value , where the key is the name of a plugin, and the value is the name of another preset.
879
-
880
- When a plugin is invoked, the preset associated with the name of the plugin is loaded, unless the option --no-default (or -N) is used.
881
-
882
- Note that special plugin name: `config` can be associated with a preset that is loaded initially, typically used for default values.
883
-
884
- Operations on this preset are done using regular `config` operations:
885
-
886
- ```
887
- <%=cmd%> config preset set default _plugin_name_ _default_preset_for_plugin_
888
- <%=cmd%> config preset get default _plugin_name_
889
- "_default_preset_for_plugin_"
890
- ```
891
-
892
- ### <a id="lplugconf"></a>Special Plugin: config
893
-
894
- Plugin `config` (not to be confused with <%=prstt%> config) is used to configure <%=tool%> but it also contains global options.
895
-
896
- When <%=tool%> starts, it looks for the `default` <%=prstt%> and if there is a value for `config`, if so, it loads the option values for any plugin used.
897
-
898
- If no global default is set by the user, the tool will use `global_common_defaults` when setting global parameters (e.g. `conf ascp use`)
899
-
900
- ### Format of file
901
-
902
- The configuration file is a hash in a YAML file. Example:
903
-
904
- ```yaml
905
- config:
906
- version: 0.3.7
907
- default:
908
- config: cli_default
909
- server: demo_server
910
- cli_default:
911
- interactive: no
912
- demo_server:
913
- url: ssh://demo.asperasoft.com:33001
914
- username: asperaweb
915
- password: _demo_pass_
916
- ```
917
-
918
- We can see here:
919
-
920
- * The configuration was created with CLI version 0.3.7
921
- * the default <%=prst%> to load for `server` plugin is : `demo_server`
922
- * the <%=prst%> `demo_server` defines some parameters: the URL and credentials
923
- * the default <%=prst%> to load in any case is : `cli_default`
924
-
925
- Two <%=prsts%> are reserved:
926
-
927
- * `config` contains a single value: `version` showing the CLI
928
- version used to create the configuration file. It is used to check compatibility.
929
- * `default` is reserved to define the default <%=prst%> name used for known plugins.
930
-
931
- The user may create as many <%=prsts%> as needed. For instance, a particular <%=prst%> can be created for a particular application instance and contain URL and credentials.
932
-
933
- Values in the configuration also follow the [Extended Value Syntax](#extended).
934
-
935
- Note: if the user wants to use the [Extended Value Syntax](#extended) inside the configuration file, using the `config preset update` command, the user shall use the `@val:` prefix. Example:
936
-
937
- ```
938
- <%=cmd%> config preset set my_aoc_org private_key @val:@file:"$HOME/.aspera/<%=cmd%>/aocapikey"
939
- ```
940
-
941
- This creates the <%=prst%>:
942
-
943
- ```
944
- ...
945
- my_aoc_org:
946
- private_key: @file:"/Users/laurent/.aspera/<%=cmd%>/aocapikey"
947
- ...
948
- ```
949
-
950
- So, the key file will be read only at execution time, but not be embedded in the configuration file.
951
-
952
- ### Options evaluation order
953
-
954
- Some options are global, some options are available only for some plugins. (the plugin is the first level command).
955
-
956
- Options are loaded using this algorithm:
957
-
958
- * If option `--no-default` (or `-N`) is specified, then no default value is loaded is loaded for the plugin
959
- * else it looks for the name of the plugin as key in section `default`, the value is the name of the default <%=prst%> for it, and loads it.
960
- * If option `--preset=<name or extended value hash>` is specified (or `-Pxxxx`), this reads the <%=prst%> specified from the configuration file, or of the value is a Hash, it uses it as options values.
961
- * Environment variables are evaluated
962
- * Command line options are evaluated
963
-
964
- Parameters are evaluated in the order of command line.
965
-
966
- To avoid loading the default <%=prst%> for a plugin, use: `-N`
967
-
968
- On command line, words in parameter names are separated by a dash, in configuration file, separator
969
- is an underscore. E.g. --xxx-yyy on command line gives xxx_yyy in configuration file.
970
-
971
- The main plugin name is `config`, so it is possible to define a default <%=prst%> for the main plugin with:
972
-
973
- ```
974
- <%=cmd%> config preset set cli_default interactive no
975
- ```
976
-
977
- ```
978
- <%=cmd%> config preset set default config cli_default
979
- ```
980
-
981
- A <%=prst%> value can be removed with `unset`:
982
-
983
- ```
984
- <%=cmd%> config preset unset cli_default interactive
985
- ```
986
-
987
- Example: Define options using command line:
988
-
989
- ```
990
- <%=cmd%> -N --url=x --password=y --username=y node --show-config
991
- ```
992
-
993
- Example: Define options using a hash:
994
-
995
- ```
996
- <%=cmd%> -N --preset=@json:'{"url":"x","password":"y","username":"y"}' node --show-config
997
- ```
998
-
999
- ### Examples
1000
-
1001
- For Faspex, Shares, Node (including ATS, Aspera Transfer Service), Console,
1002
- only username/password and url are required (either on command line, or from config file).
1003
- Those can usually be provided on the command line:
1004
-
1005
- ```
1006
- <%=cmd%> shares repo browse / --url=https://10.25.0.6 --username=john --password=4sp3ra
1007
- ```
1008
-
1009
- This can also be provisioned in a config file:
1010
-
1011
- * Build <%=prst%>
1012
-
1013
- ```
1014
- <%=cmd%> config preset set shares06 url https://10.25.0.6
1015
- <%=cmd%> config preset set shares06 username john
1016
- <%=cmd%> config preset set shares06 password 4sp3ra
1017
- ```
1018
-
1019
- Note that this can also be done with one single command:
1020
-
1021
- ```
1022
- <%=cmd%> config preset init shares06 @json:'{"url":"https://10.25.0.6","username":"john","password":"4sp3ra"}'
1023
- ```
1024
-
1025
- or
1026
-
1027
- ```
1028
- <%=cmd%> config preset update shares06 --url=https://10.25.0.6 --username=john --password=4sp3ra
1029
- ```
1030
-
1031
- * Define this <%=prst%> as the default <%=prst%> for the specified plugin (`shares`)
1032
-
1033
- ```
1034
- <%=cmd%> config preset set default shares shares06
1035
- ```
1036
-
1037
- * Display the content of configuration file in table format
1038
-
1039
- ```
1040
- <%=cmd%> config overview
1041
- ```
1042
-
1043
- * Execute a command on the shares application using default parameters
1044
-
1045
- ```
1046
- <%=cmd%> shares repo browse /
1047
- ```
1048
-
1049
- ## <a id="vault"></a>Secret Vault
1050
-
1051
- When a secret or password is needed, it is possible to store in the secret vault.
1052
-
1053
- By default the vault is defined using option `secrets`.
1054
-
1055
- ### Using system keychain
1056
-
1057
- Only on macOS.
1058
-
1059
- It is possible to store secrets in macOS keychain (only read supported currently).
1060
-
1061
- Set option `secrets` to value `system` to use the default keychain or use value `system:[name]` to use a custom keychain.
1062
-
1063
- ### Modern config file format: encrypted in config file
1064
-
1065
- It is possible to store and use secrets encrypted.
1066
- For this use the `config vault` command.
1067
-
1068
- The vault can be initialized with `config vault init`
1069
-
1070
- Then secrets can be manipulated using commands:
1071
-
1072
- * `set`
1073
- * `get`
1074
- * `list`
1075
- * `delete`
1076
-
1077
- Secrets must be uniquely identified by `url` and `username`. An optional description can be provided using option `value`.
1078
-
1079
- ### Legacy config file format
1080
-
1081
- The value provided can be a Hash, where keys are usernames (or access key id), and values are the associated password or secrets in clear.
1082
-
1083
- For example, choose a repository name, for example `my_secrets`, and populate it like this:
1084
-
1085
- ```
1086
- <%=cmd%> conf id my_secrets set 'access_key1' 'secret1'
1087
-
1088
- <%=cmd%> conf id my_secrets set 'access_key2' 'secret2'
1089
-
1090
- <%=cmd%> conf id default get config
1091
-
1092
- cli_default
1093
- ```
1094
-
1095
- Here above, one has already set a `config` global preset to preset `cli_default` (refer to earlier in documentation).
1096
- So the repository can be read by default like this (note the prefix `@val:` to avoid the evaluation of prefix `@preset:`):
1097
-
1098
- ```
1099
- <%=cmd%> conf id cli_default set secrets @val:@preset:my_secrets
1100
- ```
1101
-
1102
- A secret repository can always be selected at runtime using `--secrets=@preset:xxxx`, or `--secrets=@json:'{"accesskey1":"secret1"}'`
1103
-
1104
- To test if a secret can be found use:
1105
-
1106
- ```
1107
- <%=cmd%> conf vault get --username=access_key1
1108
- ```
1109
-
1110
- ## Plugins
1111
-
1112
- The CLI tool uses a plugin mechanism. The first level command (just after <%=tool%> on the command line) is the name of the concerned plugin which will execute the command. Each plugin usually represent commands sent to a specific application.
1113
- For instance, the plugin "faspex" allows operations on the application "Aspera Faspex".
1114
-
1115
- ### <a id="createownplugin"></a>Create your own plugin
1116
-
1117
- ```
1118
- mkdir -p ~/.aspera/<%=cmd%>/plugins
1119
- cat<<EOF>~/.aspera/<%=cmd%>/plugins/test.rb
1120
- require 'aspera/cli/plugin'
1121
- module Aspera
1122
- module Cli
1123
- module Plugins
1124
- class Test < Plugin
1125
- ACTIONS=[]
1126
- def execute_action; puts "Hello World!"; end
1127
- end # Test
1128
- end # Plugins
1129
- end # Cli
1130
- end # Aspera
1131
- EOF
1132
- ```
1133
-
1134
- ### <a id="plugins"></a>Plugins: Application URL and Authentication
1135
-
1136
- <%=tool%> comes with several Aspera application plugins.
1137
-
1138
- REST APIs of Aspera legacy applications (Aspera Node, Faspex, Shares, Console, Orchestrator, Server) use simple username/password authentication: HTTP Basic Authentication.
1139
-
1140
- Those are using options:
1141
-
1142
- * url
1143
- * username
1144
- * password
1145
-
1146
- Those can be provided using command line, parameter set, env var, see section above.
1147
-
1148
- Aspera on Cloud relies on Oauth, refer to the [Aspera on Cloud](#aoc) section.
1149
-
1150
- ## Logging, Debugging
1151
-
1152
- The gem is equipped with traces. By default logging level is `warn`.
1153
- To increase debug level, use parameter `log_level` (e.g. using command line `--log-level=xx`, env var `<%=evp%>LOG_LEVEL`, or parameter in con file).
1154
-
1155
- It is also possible to activate traces before initialization using env var `AS_LOG_LEVEL`.
1156
-
1157
- By default passwords and secrets are removed from logs.
1158
- Use option `log_passwords` to change this behaviour.
1159
-
1160
- ## Learning Aspera Product APIs (REST)
1161
-
1162
- This CLI uses REST APIs.
1163
- To display HTTP calls, use argument `-r` or `--rest-debug`, this is useful to display exact content of HTTP requests and responses.
1164
-
1165
- In order to get traces of execution, use argument : `--log-level=debug`
1166
-
1167
- ## <a id="http_options"></a>HTTP socket parameters
1168
-
1169
- If the server does not provide a valid certificate, use parameter: `--insecure=yes`.
1170
-
1171
- Some of HTTP socket parameters can be adjusted, those are the parameters of Ruby [`Net::HTTP`](https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/net/http/rdoc/Net/HTTP.html), for example:
1172
-
1173
- * `read_timeout` 60 sec
1174
- * `write_timeout` 60 sec
1175
-
1176
- Default values are the ones of Ruby.
1177
-
1178
- Example:
1179
-
1180
- ```
1181
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res package list --http-options=@json:'{"read_timeout":10.0}'
1182
- ```
1183
-
1184
- ## <a id="graphical"></a>Graphical Interactions: Browser and Text Editor
1185
-
1186
- Some actions may require the use of a graphical tool:
1187
-
1188
- * a browser for Aspera on Cloud authentication (web auth method)
1189
- * a text editor for configuration file edition
1190
-
1191
- By default the CLI will assume that a graphical environment is available on windows, and on other systems, rely on the presence of the "DISPLAY" environment variable.
1192
- It is also possible to force the graphical mode with option --ui :
1193
-
1194
- * `--ui=graphical` forces a graphical environment, a browser will be opened for URLs or a text editor for file edition.
1195
- * `--ui=text` forces a text environment, the URL or file path to open is displayed on terminal.
1196
-
1197
- ## HTTP proxy for REST
1198
-
1199
- To specify a HTTP proxy, set the HTTP_PROXY environment variable (or HTTPS_PROXY), those are honored by Ruby when calling REST APIs.
1200
-
1201
- ## <a id="certificates"></a>SSL CA certificate bundle
1202
-
1203
- <%=tool%> uses ruby `openssl` gem, which uses the `openssl` library, so certificates are checked against the ruby default certificates [OpenSSL::X509::DEFAULT_CERT_FILE](https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-3.0.3/libdoc/openssl/rdoc/OpenSSL/X509/Store.html), which are typically the ones of `openssl` on Unix systems (Linux, macOS, etc..). The environment variables `SSL_CERT_FILE` and `SSL_CERT_DIR` are used if defined.
1204
-
1205
- `ascp` also needs to validate certificates when using WSS. By default, `ascp` uses primarily certificates from hard coded path (e.g. on macOS: `/Library/Aspera/ssl`). <%=tool%> overrides and sets the default ruby certificate path as well for `ascp` using `-i` switch. So to update certificates, update ruby's `openssl` gem, or use env vars `SSL_CERT_*`.
1206
-
1207
- ## Proxy auto config
1208
-
1209
- The `fpac` option allows specification of a Proxy Auto Configuration (PAC) file, by its URL for local FASP agent. Supported schemes are : http:, https: and file:.
1210
-
1211
- The PAC file can be tested with command: `config proxy_check` , example:
1212
-
1213
- ```
1214
- <%=cmd%> config proxy_check --fpac=file:///./proxy.pac http://www.example.com
1215
- PROXY proxy.example.com:8080
1216
- ```
1217
-
1218
- This is not yet implemented to specify http proxy, so use `http_proxy` env vars.
1219
-
1220
- ## <a id="client"></a>FASP configuration
1221
-
1222
- The `config` plugin also allows specification for the use of a local FASP client. It provides the following commands for `ascp` subcommand:
1223
-
1224
- * `show` : shows the path of ascp used
1225
- * `use` : list,download connect client versions available on internet
1226
- * `products` : list Aspera transfer products available locally
1227
- * `connect` : list,download connect client versions available on internet
1228
-
1229
- ### Show path of currently used `ascp`
1230
-
1231
- ```
1232
- <%=cmd%> config ascp show
1233
- /Users/laurent/.aspera/ascli/sdk/ascp
1234
- <%=cmd%> config ascp info
1235
- +--------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
1236
- | key | value |
1237
- +--------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
1238
- | ascp | /Users/laurent/.aspera/ascli/sdk/ascp |
1239
- ...
1240
- ```
1241
-
1242
- ### Selection of `ascp` location for [`direct`](#agt_direct) agent
1243
-
1244
- By default, <%=tool%> uses any found local product with ascp, including SDK.
1245
-
1246
- To temporarily use an alternate ascp path use option `ascp_path` (`--ascp-path=`)
1247
-
1248
- For a permanent change, the command `config ascp use` sets the same parameter for the global default.
1249
-
1250
- Using a POSIX shell:
1251
-
1252
- ```
1253
- <%=cmd%> config ascp use '/Users/laurent/Applications/Aspera CLI/bin/ascp'
1254
- ascp version: 4.0.0.182279
1255
- Updated: global_common_defaults: ascp_path <- /Users/laurent/Applications/Aspera CLI/bin/ascp
1256
- Saved to default global preset global_common_defaults
1257
- ```
1258
-
1259
- Windows:
1260
-
1261
- ```
1262
- <%=cmd%> config ascp use C:\Users\admin\.aspera\ascli\sdk\ascp.exe
1263
- ascp version: 4.0.0.182279
1264
- Updated: global_common_defaults: ascp_path <- C:\Users\admin\.aspera\ascli\sdk\ascp.exe
1265
- Saved to default global preset global_common_defaults
1266
- ```
1267
-
1268
- If the path has spaces, read section: [Shell and Command line parsing](#parsing).
1269
-
1270
- ### List locally installed Aspera Transfer products
1271
-
1272
- Locally installed Aspera products can be listed with:
1273
-
1274
- ```
1275
- <%=cmd%> config ascp products list
1276
- :.........................................:................................................:
1277
- : name : app_root :
1278
- :.........................................:................................................:
1279
- : Aspera Connect : /Users/laurent/Applications/Aspera Connect.app :
1280
- : IBM Aspera CLI : /Users/laurent/Applications/Aspera CLI :
1281
- : IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Endpoint : /Library/Aspera :
1282
- : Aspera Drive : /Applications/Aspera Drive.app :
1283
- :.........................................:................................................:
1284
- ```
1285
-
1286
- ### Selection of local client for `ascp` for [`direct`](#agt_direct) agent
1287
-
1288
- If no ascp is selected, this is equivalent to using option: `--use-product=FIRST`.
1289
-
1290
- Using the option use_product finds the ascp binary of the selected product.
1291
-
1292
- To permanently use the ascp of a product:
1293
-
1294
- ```
1295
- <%=cmd%> config ascp products use 'Aspera Connect'
1296
- saved to default global preset /Users/laurent/Applications/Aspera Connect.app/Contents/Resources/ascp
1297
- ```
1298
-
1299
- ### Installation of Connect Client on command line
1300
-
1301
- ```
1302
- <%=cmd%> config ascp connect list

-
1332
- ## <a id="agents"></a>Transfer Agents
1333
-
1334
- Some of the actions on Aspera Applications lead to file transfers (upload and download) using the FASP protocol (`ascp`).
1335
-
1336
- When a transfer needs to be started, a [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec) has been internally prepared.
1337
- This [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec) will be executed by a transfer client, here called "Transfer Agent".
1338
-
1339
- There are currently 3 agents:
1340
-
1341
- * [`direct`](#agt_direct) : a local execution of `ascp`
1342
- * [`connect`](#agt_connect) : use of a local Connect Client
1343
- * [`node`](#agt_node) : use of an Aspera Transfer Node (potentially _remote_).
1344
- * [`httpgw`](#agt_httpgw) : use of an Aspera HTTP Gateway
1345
- * [`trsdk`](#agt_trsdk) : use of Aspera Transfer SDK
1346
-
1347
- Note that all transfer operation are seen from the point of view of the agent.
1348
- For instance, a node agent making an "upload", or "package send" operation,
1349
- will effectively push files to the related server from the agent node.
1350
-
1351
- <%=tool%> standardizes on the use of a [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec) instead of _raw_ ascp options to provide parameters for a transfer session, as a common method for those three Transfer Agents.
1352
-
1353
-
1354
- ### <a id="agt_direct"></a>Direct
1355
-
1356
- The `direct` agent directly executes a local ascp.
1357
- This is the default for <%=tool%>.
1358
- This is equivalent to specifying `--transfer=direct`.
1359
- <%=tool%> will detect locally installed Aspera products, including SDK.
1360
- Refer to section [FASP](#client).
1361
-
1362
- The `transfer-info` accepts the following optional parameters to control multi-session, WSS
1363
-
1364
- <table>
1365
- <tr><th>Name</th><th>Type</th><th>Description</th></tr>
1366
- <tr><td>wss</td><td>Bool</td><td>Web Socket Session<br/>Enable use of web socket session in case it is available<br/>Default: false</td></tr>
1367
- <tr><td>spawn_timeout_sec</td><td>Float</td><td>Multi session<br/>Verification time that ascp is running<br/>Default: 3</td></tr>
1368
- <tr><td>spawn_delay_sec</td><td>Float</td><td>Multi session<br/>Delay between startup of sessions<br/>Default: 2</td></tr>
1369
- <tr><td>multi_incr_udp</td><td>Bool</td><td>Multi Session<br/>Increment UDP port on multi-session<br/>If true, each session will have a different UDP port starting at `fasp_port` (or default 33001)<br/>Else, each session will use `fasp_port` (or `ascp` default)<br/>Default: true</td></tr>
1370
- <tr><td>resume</td><td>Hash</td><td>Resume<br/>parameters<br/>See below</td></tr>
1371
- <tr><td>resume.iter_max</td><td>int</td><td>Resume<br/>Max number of retry on error<br/>Default: 7</td></tr>
1372
- <tr><td>resume.sleep_initial</td><td>int</td><td>Resume<br/>First Sleep before retry<br/>Default: 2</td></tr>
1373
- <tr><td>resume.sleep_factor</td><td>int</td><td>Resume<br/>Multiplier of sleep period between attempts<br/>Default: 2</td></tr>
1374
- <tr><td>resume.sleep_max</td><td>int</td><td>Resume<br/>Default: 60</td></tr>
1375
- </table>
1376
-
1377
- Resume: In case of transfer interruption, the agent will resume a transfer up to `iter_max` time.
1378
- Sleep between iterations is:
1379
-
1380
- ```
1381
- max( sleep_max , sleep_initial * sleep_factor ^ (iter_index-1) )
1382
- ```
1383
-
1384
- Some transfer errors are considered "retryable" (e.g. timeout) and some other not (e.g. wrong password).
1385
-
1386
- Examples:
1387
-
1388
- ```
1389
- <%=cmd%> ... --transfer-info=@json:'{"wss":true,"resume":{"iter_max":10}}'
1390
- <%=cmd%> ... --transfer-info=@json:'{"spawn_delay_sec":2.5,"multi_incr_udp":false}'
1391
- ```
1392
-
1393
- To specify a FASP proxy (only supported with the `direct` agent), set the appropriate [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec) parameter:
1394
-
1395
- * `EX_fasp_proxy_url`
1396
- * `EX_http_proxy_url` (proxy for legacy http fallback)
1397
- * `EX_ascp_args`
1398
-
1399
- ### <a id="agt_connect"></a>IBM Aspera Connect Client GUI
1400
-
1401
- By specifying option: `--transfer=connect`, <%=tool%> will start transfers using the locally installed Aspera Connect Client. There are no option for `transfer_info`.
1402
-
1403
- ### <a id="agt_node"></a>Aspera Node API : Node to node transfers
1404
-
1405
- By specifying option: `--transfer=node`, the CLI will start transfers in an Aspera
1406
- Transfer Server using the Node API, either on a local or remote node.
1407
- Parameters provided in option `transfer_info` are:
1408
-
1409
- <table>
1410
- <tr><th>Name</th><th>Type</th><th>Description</th></tr>
1411
- <tr><td>url</td><td>string</td><td>URL of the node API</br>Mandatory</td></tr>
1412
- <tr><td>username</td><td>string</td><td>node api user or access key</br>Mandatory</td></tr>
1413
- <tr><td>password</td><td>string</td><td>password, secret or bearer token</br>Mandatory</td></tr>
1414
- <tr><td>root_id</td><td>string</td><td>password or secret</br>Mandatory only for bearer token</td></tr>
1415
- </table>
1416
-
1417
- Like any other option, `transfer_info` can get its value from a pre-configured <%=prst%> :
1418
- `--transfer-info=@preset:<psetname>` or be specified using the extended value syntax :
1419
- `--transfer-info=@json:'{"url":"https://...","username":"theuser","password":"thepass"}'`
1420
-
1421
- If `transfer_info` is not specified and a default node has been configured (name in `node` for section `default`) then this node is used by default.
1422
-
1423
- If the `password` value begins with `Bearer ` then the `username` is expected to be an access key and the parameter `root_id` is mandatory and specifies the root file id on the node. It can be either the access key's root file id, or any authorized file id underneath it.
1424
-
1425
- ### <a id="agt_httpgw"></a>HTTP Gateway
1426
-
1427
- If it possible to send using a HTTP gateway, in case FASP is not allowed. `transfer_info` shall have a single mandatory parameter: `url`.
1428
-
1429
- Example:
1430
-
1431
- ```
1432
- <%=cmd%> faspex package recv --id=323 --transfer=httpgw --transfer-info=@json:'{"url":"https://asperagw.example.com:9443/aspera/http-gwy/v1"}'
1433
- ```
1434
-
1435
- Note that the gateway only supports transfers authorized with a token.
1436
-
1437
- ### <a id="agt_trsdk"></a>Transfer SDK
1438
-
1439
- Another possibility is to use the Transfer SDK daemon (asperatransferd).
1440
-
1441
- By default it will listen on local port `55002` on `127.0.0.1`.
1442
-
1443
- ## <a id="transferspec"></a>Transfer Specification
1444
-
1445
- Some commands lead to file transfer (upload/download), all parameters necessary for this transfer
1446
- is described in a _transfer-spec_ (Transfer Specification), such as:
1447
-
1448
- * server address
1449
- * transfer user name
1450
- * credentials
1451
- * file list
1452
- * etc...
1453
-
1454
- <%=tool%> builds a default _transfer-spec_ internally, so it is not necessary to provide additional parameters on the command line for this transfer.
1455
-
1456
- If needed, it is possible to modify or add any of the supported _transfer-spec_ parameter using the `ts` option. The `ts` option accepts a [Structured Value](#native) containing one or several _transfer-spec_ parameters. Multiple `ts` options on command line are cumulative.
1457
-
1458
- It is possible to specify ascp options when the `transfer` option is set to [`direct`](#agt_direct) using the special [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec) parameter: `EX_ascp_args`. Example: `--ts=@json:'{"EX_ascp_args":["-l","100m"]}'`. This is especially useful for ascp command line parameters not supported yet in the transfer spec.
1459
-
1460
- The use of a _transfer-spec_ instead of `ascp` parameters has the advantage of:
1461
-
1462
- * common to all [Transfer Agent](#agents)
1463
- * not dependent on command line limitations (special characters...)
1464
-
1465
- A [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec) is a Hash table, so it is described on the command line with the [Extended Value Syntax](#extended).
1466
-
1467
- ## <a id="transferparams"></a>Transfer Parameters
1468
-
1469
- All standard _transfer-spec_ parameters can be specified.
1470
- [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec) can also be saved/overridden in the config file.

-
1478
- Parameters can be displayed with commands:
1479
-
1480
- ```
1481
- <%=cmd%> config ascp spec
1482
- <%=cmd%> config ascp spec --select=@json:'{"d":"Y"}' --fields=-d,n,c
1483
- ```
1484
-
1485
- Columns:
1486
-
1487
- * D=Direct (local `ascp` execution)
1488
- * N=Node API
1489
- * C=Connect Client
1490
-
1491
- `ascp` argument or environment variable is provided in description.
1492
-
1493
- Fields with EX_ prefix are extensions to transfer agent [`direct`](#agt_direct). (only in <%=tool%>).
1494
-
1495
- <%=spec_table%>
1496
-
1497
- ### Destination folder for transfers
1498
-
1499
- The destination folder is set by <%=tool%> by default to:
1500
-
1501
- * `.` for downloads
1502
- * `/` for uploads
1503
-
1504
- It is specified by the [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec) parameter `destination_root`.
1505
- As such, it can be modified with option: `--ts=@json:'{"destination_root":"<path>"}'`.
1506
- The option `to_folder` provides an equivalent and convenient way to change this parameter:
1507
- `--to-folder=<path>` .
1508
-
1509
- ### List of files for transfers
1510
-
1511
- When uploading, downloading or sending files, the user must specify the list of files to transfer. The option to specify the list of files is `sources`, the default value is `@args`, which means: take remain non used arguments (not starting with `-` as list of files.
1512
- So, by default, the list of files to transfer will be simply specified on the command line:
1513
-
1514
- ```
1515
- <%=cmd%> server upload ~/mysample.file secondfile
1516
- ```
1517
-
1518
- This is equivalent to:
1519
-
1520
- ```
1521
- <%=cmd%> server upload --sources=@args ~/mysample.file secondfile
1522
- ```
1523
-
1524
- More advanced options are provided to adapt to various cases. In fact, list of files to transfer are normally conveyed using the [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec) using the field: "paths" which is a list (array) of pairs of "source" (mandatory) and "destination" (optional).
1525
-
1526
- Note that this is different from the "ascp" command line. The paradigm used by <%=tool%> is:
1527
- all transfer parameters are kept in [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec) so that execution of a transfer is independent of the transfer agent. Note that other IBM Aspera interfaces use this: connect, node, transfer sdk.
1528
-
1529
- For ease of use and flexibility, the list of files to transfer is specified by the option `sources`. Accepted values are:
1530
-
1531
- * `@args` : (default value) the list of files is directly provided at the end of the command line (see at the beginning of this section).
1532
-
1533
- * an [Extended Value](#extended) holding an *Array of String*. Examples:
1534
-
1535
- ```
1536
- --sources=@json:'["file1","file2"]'
1537
- --sources=@lines:@stdin:
1538
- --sources=@ruby:'File.read("myfilelist").split("\n")'
1539
- ```
1540
-
1541
- * `@ts` : the user provides the list of files directly in the `ts` option, in its `paths` field. Example:
1542
-
1543
- ```
1544
- --sources=@ts --ts=@json:'{"paths":[{"source":"file1"},{"source":"file2"}]}'
1545
- ```
1546
-
1547
- providing a file list directly to ascp:
1548
-
1549
- ```
1550
- ... --sources=@ts --ts=@json:'{"paths":[],"EX_file_list":"filelist.txt"}'
1551
- ```
1552
-
1553
- * Not recommended: It is possible to specify bare ascp arguments using the pseudo [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec) parameter `EX_ascp_args`.
1554
-
1555
- ```
1556
- --sources=@ts --ts=@json:'{"paths":[{"source":"dummy"}],"EX_ascp_args":["--file-list","myfilelist"]}'
1557
- ```
1558
-
1559
- This method avoids creating a copy of the file list, but has drawbacks: it applies *only* to the [`direct`](#agt_direct) transfer agent (i.e. bare ascp) and not for Aspera on Cloud. One must specify a dummy list in the [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec), which will be overridden by the bare ascp command line provided. (TODO) In next version, dummy source paths can be removed.
1560
-
1561
- In case the file list is provided on the command line i.e. using `--sources=@args` or `--sources=<Array>` (but not `--sources=@ts`), then the list of files will be used either as a simple file list or a file pair list depending on the value of the option: `src_type`:
1562
-
1563
- * `list` : (default) the path of destination is the same as source
1564
- * `pair` : in that case, the first element is the first source, the second element is the first destination, and so on.
1565
-
1566
- Example:
1567
-
1568
- ```
1569
- <%=cmd%> server upload --src-type=pair ~/Documents/Samples/200KB.1 /Upload/sample1
1570
- ```
1571
-
1572
- Internally, when transfer agent [`direct`](#agt_direct) is used, a temporary file list (or pair) file is generated and provided to ascp, unless `--file-list` or `--file-pair-list` is provided in `ts` in `EX_ascp_args`.
1573
-
1574
- Note the special case when the source files are located on "Aspera on Cloud", i.e. using access keys and the `file id` API:
1575
-
1576
- * All files must be in the same source folder.
1577
- * If there is a single file : specify the full path
1578
- * For multiple files, specify the source folder as first item in the list followed by the list of file names.
1579
-
1580
- Source files are located on "Aspera on cloud", when :
1581
-
1582
- * the server is Aspera on Cloud, and making a download / recv
1583
- * the agent is Aspera on Cloud, and making an upload / send
1584
-
1585
- ### <a id="multisession"></a>Support of multi-session
1586
-
1587
- Multi session, i.e. starting a transfer of a file set using multiple sessions (one ascp process per session) is supported on "direct" and "node" agents, not yet on connect.
1588
-
1589
- * when agent=node :
1590
-
1591
- ```
1592
- --ts=@json:'{"multi_session":10,"multi_session_threshold":1}'
1593
- ```
1594
-
1595
- Multi-session is directly supported by the node daemon.
1596
-
1597
- * when agent=direct :
1598
-
1599
- ```
1600
- --ts=@json:'{"multi_session":5,"multi_session_threshold":1,"resume_policy":"none"}'
1601
- ```
1602
-
1603
- Note: resume policy of "attr" may cause problems. "none" or "sparse_csum"
1604
- shall be preferred.
1605
-
1606
- Multi-session spawn is done by <%=tool%>.
1607
-
1608
- When multi-session is used, one separate UDP port is used per session (refer to `ascp` manual page).
1609
-
1610
- ### Examples
1611
-
1612
- * Change target rate
1613
-
1614
- ```
1615
- --ts=@json:'{"target_rate_kbps":500000}'
1616
- ```
1617
-
1618
- * Override the FASP SSH port to a specific TCP port:
1619
-
1620
- ```
1621
- --ts=@json:'{"ssh_port":33002}'
1622
- ```
1623
-
1624
- * Force http fallback mode:
1625
-
1626
- ```
1627
- --ts=@json:'{"http_fallback":"force"}'
1628
- ```
1629
-
1630
- * Activate progress when not activated by default on server
1631
-
1632
- ```
1633
- --ts=@json:'{"precalculate_job_size":true}'
1634
- ```
1635
-
1636
- ## <a id="scheduling"></a>Lock for exclusive execution
1637
-
1638
- In some conditions, it may be desirable to ensure that <%=tool%> is not executed several times in parallel.
1639
-
1640
- For instance when <%=tool%> is executed automatically on a schedule basis, one generally desire that a new execution is not started if a previous execution is still running because an on-going operation may last longer than the scheduling period:
1641
-
1642
- * Executing instances may pile-up and kill the system
1643
- * The same file may be transferred by multiple instances at the same time.
1644
- * `preview` may generate the same files in multiple instances.
1645
-
1646
- Usually the OS native scheduler already provides some sort of protection against parallel execution:
1647
-
1648
- * The Windows scheduler does this by default
1649
- * Linux cron can leverage the utility [`flock`](https://linux.die.net/man/1/flock) to do the same:
1650
-
1651
- ```
1652
- /usr/bin/flock -w 0 /var/cron.lock ascli ...
1653
- ```
1654
-
1655
- <%=tool%> natively supports a locking mechanism with option `lock_port`.
1656
- (Technically, this opens a local TCP server port, and fails if this port is already used, providing a local lock. Lock is released when process exits).
1657
-
1658
- Example:
1659
-
1660
- Run this same command in two separate terminals within less than 30 seconds:
1661
-
1662
- ```
1663
- <%=cmd%> config echo @ruby:'sleep(30)' --lock-port=12345
1664
- ```
1665
-
1666
- The first instance will sleep 30 seconds, the second one will immediately exit like this:
1667
-
1668
- ```
1669
- WARN -- : Another instance is already running (Address already in use - bind(2) for "127.0.0.1" port 12345).
1670
- ```
1671
-
1672
- ## "Proven&ccedil;ale"
1673
-
1674
- `ascp`, the underlying executable implementing Aspera file transfer using FASP, has a capability to not only access the local file system (using system's `open`,`read`,`write`,`close` primitives), but also to do the same operations on other data storage such as S3, Hadoop and others. This mechanism is call *PVCL*. Several *PVCL* adapters are available, some are embedded in `ascp`
1675
- , some are provided om shared libraries and must be activated. (e.g. using `trapd`)
1676
-
1677
- The list of supported *PVCL* adapters can be retrieved with command:
1678
-
1679
- ```
1680
- <%=cmd%> conf ascp info
1681
- +--------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
1682
- | key | value |
1683
- +--------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
1684
- -----8<-----snip-----8<-----
1685
- | product_name | IBM Aspera SDK |
1686
- | product_version | 4.0.1.182389 |
1687
- | process | pvcl |
1688
- | shares | pvcl |
1689

1692
- | stdio | pvcl |
1693
- | stdio-tar | pvcl |
1694
- +--------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
1695
- ```
1696
-
1697
- Here we can see the adapters: `process`, `shares`, `noded`, `faux`, `file`, `stdio`, `stdio-tar`.
1698
-
1699
- Those adapters can be used wherever a file path is used in `ascp` including configuration. They act as a pseudo "drive".
1700
-
1701
- The simplified format is:
1702
-
1703
- ```
1704
- <adapter>:///<sub file path>?<arg1>=<val1>&...
1705
- ```
1706
-
1707
- One of the adapters, used in this manual, for testing, is `faux`. It is a pseudo file system allowing generation of file data without actual storage (on source or destination).
1708
-
1709
- ## <a id="faux_testing"></a>`faux:` for testing
1710
-
1711
- This is an extract of the man page of `ascp`. This feature is a feature of `ascp`, not <%=tool%>.
1712
-
1713
- This adapter can be used to simulate a file or a directory.
1714
-
1715
- To send uninitialized data in place of an actual source file, the source file is replaced with an argument of the form:
1716
-
1717
- ```
1718
- faux:///filename?filesize
1719
- ```
1720
-
1721
- where:
1722
-
1723
- * `filename` is the name that will be assigned to the file on the destination
1724
- * `filesize` is the number of bytes that will be sent (in decimal).
1725
-
1726
- Note: characters `?` and `&` are shell special characters (wildcard and backround), so `faux` file specification on command line should be protected (using quotes or `\`). If not, the shell may give error: `no matches found` or equivalent.
1727
-
1728
- For all sizes, a suffix can be added (case insensitive) to the size: k,m,g,t,p,e (values are power of 2, e.g. 1M is 2<sup>20</sup>, i.e. 1 mebibyte, not megabyte). The maximum allowed value is 8*2<sup>60</sup>. Very large `faux` file sizes (petabyte range and above) will likely fail due to lack of destination storage unless destination is `faux://`.
1729
-
1730
- To send uninitialized data in place of a source directory, the source argument is replaced with an argument of the form:
1731
-
1732
- ```
1733
- faux:///dirname?<arg1>=<val1>&...
1734
- ```
1735
-
1736
- where:
1737
-
1738
- * `dirname` is the folder name and can contain `/` to specify a subfolder.
1739
- * supported arguments are:
1740
-
1741
- <table>
1742
- <tr><th>name</th><th>type</th><th>default</th><th>description</th></tr>
1743
- <tr><td>count</td><td>int</td><td>mandatory</td><td>Number of files</td></tr>
1744
- <tr><td>file</td><td>string</td><td>file</td><td>Basename for files</td></tr>
1745
- <tr><td>size</td><td>int</td><td>0</td><td>Size of first file.</td></tr>
1746
- <tr><td>inc</td><td>int</td><td>0</td><td>Increment applied to determine next file size</td></tr>
1747
- <tr><td>seq</td><td>sequential<br/>random</td><td>sequential</td><td>Sequence in determining next file size</td></tr>
1748
- <tr><td>buf_init</td><td>none<br/>zero<br/>random</td><td>zero</td><td>How source data is initialized<br/>Option 'none' is not allowed for downloads.</td></tr>
1749
- </table>
1750
-
1751
- The sequence parameter is applied as follows:
1752
-
1753
- * If `seq` is `random` then each file size is:
1754
-
1755
- * size +/- (inc * rand())
1756
- * Where rand is a random number between 0 and 1
1757
- * Note that file size must not be negative, inc will be set to size if it is greater than size
1758
- * Similarly, overall file size must be less than 8*2<sup>60</sup>. If size + inc is greater, inc will be reduced to limit size + inc to 7*2<sup>60</sup>.
1759
-
1760
- * If `seq` is `sequential` then each file size is:
1761
-
1762
- * `size + ((fileindex - 1) * inc)`
1763
- * Where first file is index 1
1764
- * So file1 is `size` bytes, file2 is `size + inc` bytes, file3 is `size + inc * 2` bytes, etc.
1765
- * As with `random`, `inc` will be adjusted if `size + (count * inc)` is not less then 8*2<sup>60</sup>.
1766
-
1767
- Filenames generated are of the form: `<file>_<00000 ... count>_<filesize>`
1768
-
1769
- To discard data at the destination, the destination argument is set to `faux://` .
1770
-
1771
- Examples:
1772
-
1773
- * Upload 20 gibibytes of random data to file myfile to directory /Upload
1774
-
1775
- ```
1776
- <%=cmd%> server upload faux:///myfile\?20g --to-folder=/Upload
1777
- ```
1778
-
1779
- * Upload a file /tmp/sample but do not save results to disk (no docroot on destination)
1780
-
1781
- ```
1782
- <%=cmd%> server upload /tmp/sample --to-folder=faux://
1783
- ```
1784
-
1785
- * Upload a faux directory `mydir` containing 1 million files, sequentially with sizes ranging from 0 to 2 Mebibyte - 2 bytes, with the basename of each file being `testfile` to /Upload
1786
-
1787
- ```
1788
- <%=cmd%> server upload "faux:///mydir?file=testfile&count=1m&size=0&inc=2&seq=sequential" --to-folder=/Upload

- # <a id="aoc"></a>Plugin: Aspera on Cloud
1811
-
1812
- Aspera on Cloud uses the more advanced Oauth v2 mechanism for authentication (HTTP Basic authentication is not supported).
1813
-
1814
- It is recommended to use the wizard to set it up, but manual configuration is also possible.
1815
-
1816
- ## <a id="aocwizard"></a>Configuration: using Wizard
1817
-
1818
- <%=tool%> provides a configuration wizard. Here is a sample invocation :
1819
-
1820
- ```
1821
- <%=cmd%> config wizard
1822
- option: url> https://myorg.ibmaspera.com
1823
- Detected: Aspera on Cloud
1824
- Preparing preset: aoc_myorg
1825
- Please provide path to your private RSA key, or empty to generate one:
1826
- option: pkeypath>
1827
- using existing key:
1828
- /Users/myself/.aspera/<%=cmd%>/aspera_aoc_key
1829
- Using global client_id.
1830
- option: username> john@example.com
1831
- Updating profile with new key
1832
- creating new config preset: aoc_myorg
1833
- Setting config preset as default for aspera
1834
- saving config file
1835
- Done.
1836
- You can test with:
1837
- <%=cmd%> aoc user info show
1838
- ```
1839
-
1840
- Optionally, it is possible to create a new organization-specific "integration".
1841
- For this, specify the option: `--use-generic-client=no`.
1842
-
1843
- This will guide you through the steps to create.
1844
-
1845
- ## <a id="aocmanual"></a>Configuration: using manual setup
1846
-
1847
- If you used the wizard (recommended): skip this section.
1848
-
1849
- ### Configuration details
1850
-
1851
- Several types of OAuth authentication are supported:
1852
-
1853
- * JSON Web Token (JWT) : authentication is secured by a private key (recommended for CLI)
1854
- * Web based authentication : authentication is made by user using a browser
1855
- * URL Token : external users authentication with url tokens (public links)
1856
-
1857
- The authentication method is controlled by option `auth`.
1858
-
1859
- For a _quick start_, follow the mandatory and sufficient section: [API Client Registration](#clientreg) (auth=web) as well as [<%=prst%> for Aspera on Cloud](#aocpreset).
1860
-
1861
- For a more convenient, browser-less, experience follow the [JWT](#jwt) section (auth=jwt) in addition to Client Registration.
1862
-
1863
- In Oauth, a "Bearer" token are generated to authenticate REST calls. Bearer tokens are valid for a period of time.<%=tool%> saves generated tokens in its configuration folder, tries to re-use them or regenerates them when they have expired.
1864
-
1865
- ### <a id="clientreg"></a>Optional: API Client Registration
1866
-
1867
- If you use the built-in client_id and client_secret, skip this and do not set them in next section.
1868
-
1869
- Else you can use a specific OAuth API client_id, the first step is to declare <%=tool%> in Aspera on Cloud using the admin interface.
1870
-
1871
- (official documentation: <https://ibmaspera.com/help/admin/organization/registering_an_api_client> ).
1872
-
1873
- Let's start by a registration with web based authentication (auth=web):
1874
-
1875
- * Open a web browser, log to your instance: e.g. `https://myorg.ibmaspera.com/`
1876
- * Go to Apps&rarr;Admin&rarr;Organization&rarr;Integrations
1877
- * Click "Create New"
1878
- * Client Name: <%=tool%>
1879
- * Redirect URIs: `http://localhost:12345`
1880
- * Origins: `localhost`
1881
- * uncheck "Prompt users to allow client to access"
1882
- * leave the JWT part for now
1883
- * Save
1884
-
1885
- Note: for web based authentication, <%=tool%> listens on a local port (e.g. specified by the redirect_uri, in this example: 12345), and the browser will provide the OAuth code there. For `<%=tool%>, HTTP is required, and 12345 is the default port.
1886
-
1887
- Once the client is registered, a "Client ID" and "Secret" are created, these values will be used in the next step.
1888
-
1889
- ### <a id="aocpreset"></a><%=prst%> for Aspera on Cloud
1890
-
1891
- If you did not use the wizard, you can also manually create a <%=prst%> for <%=tool%> in its configuration file.
1892
-
1893
- Lets create an <%=prst%> called: `my_aoc_org` using `ask` interactive input (client info from previous step):
1894
-
1895
- ```
1896
- <%=cmd%> config preset ask my_aoc_org url client_id client_secret
1897
- option: url> https://myorg.ibmaspera.com/
1898
- option: client_id> BJLPObQiFw
1899
- option: client_secret> yFS1mu-crbKuQhGFtfhYuoRW...
1900
- updated: my_aoc_org
1901
- ```
1902
-
1903
- (This can also be done in one line using the command `config preset update my_aoc_org --url=...`)
1904
-
1905
- Define this <%=prst%> as default configuration for the `aspera` plugin:
1906
-
1907
- ```
1908
- <%=cmd%> config preset set default aoc my_aoc_org
1909
- ```
1910
-
1911
- Note: Default `auth` method is `web` and default `redirect_uri` is `http://localhost:12345`. Leave those default values.
1912
-
1913
- ### <a id="jwt"></a>Activation of JSON Web Token (JWT) for direct authentication
1914
-
1915
- For a Browser-less, Private Key-based authentication, use the following steps.
1916
-
1917
- #### Key Pair Generation
1918
-
1919
- In order to use JWT for Aspera on Cloud API client authentication,
1920
- a private/public key pair must be generated (without passphrase)
1921
- This can be done using any of the following method:
1922
-
1923
- (TODO: add passphrase protection as option).
1924
-
1925
- * using the CLI:
1926
-
1927
- ```
1928
- <%=cmd%> config genkey ~/.aspera/<%=cmd%>/aocapikey
1929
- ```
1930
-
1931
- * `ssh-keygen`:
1932
-
1933
- ```
1934
- ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.aspera/<%=cmd%>/aocapikey -N ''
1935
- ```
1936
-
1937
- * `openssl`
1938
-
1939
- (on some openssl implementation (mac) there is option: -nodes (no DES))
1940
-
1941
- ```
1942
- APIKEY=~/.aspera/<%=cmd%>/aocapikey
1943
- openssl genrsa -passout pass:dummypassword -out ${APIKEY}.protected 2048

- #### API Client JWT activation
1950
-
1951
- If you are not using the built-in client_id and secret, JWT needs to be authorized in Aspera on Cloud. This can be done in two manners:
1952
-
1953
- * Graphically
1954
-
1955
- * Open a web browser, log to your instance: https://myorg.ibmaspera.com/
1956
- * Go to Apps&rarr;Admin&rarr;Organization&rarr;Integrations
1957
- * Click on the previously created application
1958
- * select tab : "JSON Web Token Auth"
1959
- * Modify options if necessary, for instance: activate both options in section "Settings"
1960
- * Click "Save"
1961
-
1962
- * Using command line
1963
-
1964
- ```
1965
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res client list
1966
- :............:.........:
1967
- : id : name :
1968
- :............:.........:
1969
- : BJLPObQiFw : <%=cmd%> :
1970
- :............:.........:
1971
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res client modify --id=BJLPObQiFw @json:'{"jwt_grant_enabled":true,"explicit_authorization_required":false}'
1972
- modified
1973
- ```
1974
-
1975
- ### User key registration
1976
-
1977
- The public key must be assigned to your user. This can be done in two manners:
1978
-
1979
- * Graphically
1980
-
1981
- open the previously generated public key located here: `$HOME/.aspera/<%=cmd%>/aocapikey.pub`
1982
-
1983
- * Open a web browser, log to your instance: https://myorg.ibmaspera.com/
1984
- * Click on the user's icon (top right)
1985
- * Select "Account Settings"
1986
- * Paste the _Public Key_ in the "Public Key" section
1987
- * Click on "Submit"
1988
-
1989
- * Using command line
1990
-
1991
- ```
1992
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res user list
1993
- :........:................:
1994
- : id : name :
1995
- :........:................:
1996
- : 109952 : Tech Support :
1997
- : 109951 : LAURENT MARTIN :
1998
- :........:................:
1999
- <%=cmd%> aoc user info modify @ruby:'{"public_key"=>File.read(File.expand_path("~/.aspera/<%=cmd%>/aocapikey.pub"))}'
2000
- modified
2001
- ```
2002
-
2003
- Note: the `aspera user info show` command can be used to verify modifications.
2004
-
2005
- ### <%=prst%> modification for JWT
2006
-
2007
- To activate default use of JWT authentication for <%=tool%> using the <%=prst%>, do the following:
2008
-
2009
- * change auth method to JWT
2010
- * provide location of private key
2011
- * provide username to login as (OAuth "subject")
2012
-
2013
- Execute:
2014
-
2015
- ```
2016
- <%=cmd%> config preset update my_aoc_org --auth=jwt --private-key=@val:@file:~/.aspera/<%=cmd%>/aocapikey --username=laurent.martin.aspera@fr.ibm.com
2017
- ```
2018
-
2019
- Note: the private key argument represents the actual PEM string. In order to read the content from a file, use the @file: prefix. But if the @file: argument is used as is, it will read the file and set in the config file. So to keep the "@file" tag in the configuration file, the @val: prefix is added.
2020
-
2021
- After this last step, commands do not require web login anymore.
2022
-
2023
-
2024
- ### <a id="aocfirst"></a>First Use
2025
-
2026
- Once client has been registered and <%=prst%> created: <%=tool%> can be used:
2027
-
2028
- ```
2029
- <%=cmd%> aoc files br /
2030
- Current Workspace: Default Workspace (default)
2031
- empty
2032
- ```
2033
-
2034
-
2035
- ## Administration
2036
-
2037
- The `admin` command allows several administrative tasks (and require admin privilege).
2038
-
2039
- It allows actions (create, update, delete) on "resources": users, group, nodes, workspace, etc... with the `admin resource` command.
2040
-
2041
- ### Bulk creation and deletion of resource
2042
-
2043
- Bulk creation and deletion of resources are possible using option `bulk` (yes,no(default)).
2044
- In that case, the operation expects an Array of Hash instead of a simple Hash using the [Extended Value Syntax](#extended).
2045
-
2046
- ### Listing resources
2047
-
2048
- The command `aoc admin res <type> list` lists all entities of given type. It uses paging and multiple requests if necessary.
2049
-
2050
- The option `query` can be optionally used. It expects a Hash using [Extended Value Syntax](#extended), generally provided using: `--query=@json:{...}`. Values are directly sent to the API call and used as a filter on server side.
2051
-
2052
- The following parameters are supported:
2053
-
2054
- * `q` : a filter on name of resource (case insensitive, matches if value is contained in name)
2055
- * `sort`: name of fields to sort results, prefix with `-` for reverse order.
2056
- * `max` : maximum number of items to retrieve (stop pages when the maximum is passed)
2057
- * `pmax` : maximum number of pages to request (stop pages when the maximum is passed)
2058
- * `page` : native api parameter, in general do not use (added by
2059
- * `per_page` : native api parameter, number of items par api call, in general do not use
2060
- * Other specific parameters depending on resource type.
2061
-
2062
- Both `max` and `pmax` are processed internally in <%=tool%>, not included in actual API call and limit the number of successive pages requested to API. <%=tool%> will return all values using paging if not provided.
2063
-
2064
- Other parameters are directly sent as parameters to the GET request on API.
2065
-
2066
- `page` and `per_page` are normally added by <%=tool%> to build successive API calls to get all values if there are more than 1000. (AoC allows a maximum page size of 1000).
2067
-
2068
- `q` and `sort` are available on most resource types.
2069
-
2070
- Other parameters depend on the type of entity (refer to AoC API).
2071
-
2072
- Examples:
2073
-
2074
- * List users with `laurent` in name:
2075
-
2076
- ```
2077
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res user list --query=--query=@json:'{"q":"laurent"}'
2078
- ```
2079
-
2080
- * List users who logged-in before a date:
2081
-
2082
- ```
2083
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res user list --query=@json:'{"q":"last_login_at:<2018-05-28"}'
2084
- ```
2085
-
2086
- * List external users and sort in reverse alphabetical order using name:
2087
-
2088
- ```
2089
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res user list --query=@json:'{"member_of_any_workspace":false,"sort":"-name"}'
2090
- ```
2091
-
2092
- Refer to the AoC API for full list of query parameters, or use the browser in developer mode with the web UI.
2093
-
2094
- Note the option `select` can also be used to further refine selection, refer to [section earlier](#option_select).
2095
-
2096
- ### <a id="res_select"></a>Selecting a resource
2097
-
2098
- Resources are identified by a unique `id`, as well as a unique `name` (case insensitive).
2099
-
2100
- To execute an action on a specific resource, select it using one of those methods:
2101
-
2102
- * *recommended:* give id directly on command line *after the action*: `aoc admin res node show 123`
2103
- * give name on command line *after the action*: `aoc admin res node show name abc`
2104
- * provide option `id` : `aoc admin res node show --id=123`
2105
- * provide option `name` : `aoc admin res node show --name=abc`
2106
-
2107
- ### Access Key secrets
2108
-
2109
- In order to access some administrative actions on "nodes" (in fact, access keys), the associated secret is required.
2110
- It is usually provided using the `secret` option.
2111
- For example in a command like:
2112
-
2113
- ```
2114
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res node --id=123 --secret="secret1" v3 info
2115
- ```
2116
-
2117
- It is also possible to provide a set of secrets used on a regular basis using the [secret vault](#vault).
2118
-
2119
- ### Activity
2120
-
2121
- The activity app can be queried with:
2122
-
2123
- ```
2124
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin analytics transfers
2125
- ```
2126
-
2127
- It can also support filters and send notification using option `notif_to`. a template is defined using option `notif_template` :
2128
-
2129
- `mytemplate.erb`:
2130
-
2131
- ```
2132
- From: <%='<'%>%=from_name%> <<%='<'%>%=from_email%>>
2133
- To: <<%='<'%>%=ev['user_email']%>>
2134
- Subject: <%='<'%>%=ev['files_completed']%> files received
2135
-
2136
- Dear <%='<'%>%=ev[:user_email.to_s]%>,
2137
- We received <%='<'%>%=ev['files_completed']%> files for a total of <%='<'%>%=ev['transferred_bytes']%> bytes, starting with file:
2138
- <%='<'%>%=ev['content']%>
2139
-
2140
- Thank you.
2141
- ```
2142
- The environment provided contains the following additional variable:
2143
-
2144
- * ev : all details on the transfer event
2145
-
2146
- Example:
2147
-
2148
- ```
2149
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin analytics transfers --once-only=yes --lock-port=12345 \
2150
- --query=@json:'{"status":"completed","direction":"receive"}' \
2151
- --notif-to=active --notif-template=@file:mytemplate.erb
2152
- ```
2153
-
2154
- Options:
2155
-
2156
- * `once_only` keep track of last date it was called, so next call will get only new events
2157
- * `query` filter (on API call)
2158
- * `notify` send an email as specified by template, this could be places in a file with the `@file` modifier.
2159
-
2160
- Note this must not be executed in less than 5 minutes because the analytics interface accepts only a period of time between 5 minutes and 6 months. The period is [date of previous execution]..[now].
2161
-
2162
- ### Transfer: Using specific transfer ports
2163
-
2164
- By default transfer nodes are expected to use ports TCP/UDP 33001. The web UI enforces that.
2165
- The option `default_ports` ([yes]/no) allows <%=cmd%> to retrieve the server ports from an API call (download_setup) which reads the information from `aspera.conf` on the server.
2166
-
2167
- ### Using ATS
2168
-
2169
- Refer to section "Examples" of [ATS](#ats) and substitute command `ats` with `aoc admin ats`.
2170
-
2171
- ### Example: Bulk creation of users
2172
-
2173
- ```
2174
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res user create --bulk=yes @json:'[{"email":"dummyuser1@example.com"},{"email":"dummyuser2@example.com"}]'
2175
- :.......:.........:
2176
- : id : status :
2177
- :.......:.........:
2178
- : 98398 : created :
2179
- : 98399 : created :
2180
- :.......:.........:
2181
- ```
2182
-
2183
- ### Example: Find with filter and delete
2184
-
2185
- ```
2186
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res user list --query='@json:{"q":"dummyuser"}' --fields=id,email
2187
- :.......:........................:
2188
- : id : email :
2189
- :.......:........................:
2190
- : 98398 : dummyuser1@example.com :
2191
- : 98399 : dummyuser2@example.com :
2192
- :.......:........................:
2193
- thelist=$(<%=cmd%> aoc admin res user list --query='@json:{"q":"dummyuser"}' --fields=id --format=json --display=data|jq -cr 'map(.id)')
2194
- echo $thelist
2195
- ["113501","354061"]
2196
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res user --bulk=yes --id=@json:"$thelist" delete
2197
- :.......:.........:
2198
- : id : status :
2199
- :.......:.........:
2200
- : 98398 : deleted :
2201
- : 98399 : deleted :
2202
- :.......:.........:
2203
- ```
2204
-
2205
- ### Example: <a id="deactuser"></a>Find deactivated users since more than 2 years
2206
-
2207
- ```
2208
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res user list --query=@ruby:'{"deactivated"=>true,"q"=>"last_login_at:<#{(DateTime.now.to_time.utc-2*365*86400).iso8601}"}'
2209
- ```
2210
-
2211
- To delete them use the same method as before
2212
-
2213
- ### Example: Display current user's workspaces
2214
-
2215
- ```
2216
- <%=cmd%> aoc user workspaces
2217
- :......:............................:
2218
- : id : name :
2219
- :......:............................:
2220

2221
- : 17 : Marketing :
2222
- : 18 : Sales :
2223
- :......:............................:
2224
- ```
2225
-
2226
- ### Example: Create a sub access key in a "node"
2227
-
2228
- Creation of a sub-access key is like creation of access key with the following difference: authentication to node API is made with accesskey (master access key) and only the path parameter is provided: it is relative to the storage root of the master key. (id and secret are optional)
2229
-
2230
- ```
2231
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin resource node --name=_node_name_ --secret=_secret_ v4 access_key create --value=@json:'{"storage":{"path":"/folder1"}}'
2232
- ```
2233
-
2234
- ### Example: Display transfer events (ops/transfer)
2235
-
2236
- ```
2237
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res node --secret=_secret_ v3 transfer list --value=@json:'[["q","*"],["count",5]]'
2238
- ```
2239
-
2240
- Examples of query (TODO: cleanup):
2241
-
2242
- ```
2243
- {"q":"type(file_upload OR file_delete OR file_download OR file_rename OR folder_create OR folder_delete OR folder_share OR folder_share_via_public_link)","sort":"-date"}
2244
-
2245
- {"tag":"aspera.files.package_id=LA8OU3p8w"}
2246
-
2247
- # filter= 'id', 'short_summary', or 'summary'
2248
- # count=nnn
2249
- # tag=x.y.z%3Dvalue
2250
- # iteration_token=nnn
2251
- # after_time=2016-05-01T23:53:09Z
2252
- # active_only=true|false
2253
- ```
2254
-
2255
- ### Example: Display node events (events)
2256
-
2257
- ```
2258
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res node --secret=_secret_ v3 events
2259
- ```
2260
-
2261
- ### Example: Display members of a workspace
2262
-
2263
- ```
2264
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res workspace_membership list --fields=member_type,manager,member.email --query=@json:'{"embed":"member","inherited":false,"workspace_id":11363,"sort":"name"}'
2265
- :.............:.........:..................................:

- other query parameters:
2278
-
2279
- ```
2280
- {"workspace_membership_through":true,"include_indirect":true}
2281
- ```
2282
-
2283
- ### Example: <a id="aoc_sample_member"></a>add all members of a workspace to another workspace
2284
-
2285
- a- Get id of first workspace
2286
-
2287
- ```
2288
- WS1='First Workspace'
2289
- WS1ID=$(<%=cmd%> aoc admin res workspace list --query=@json:'{"q":"'"$WS1"'"}' --select=@json:'{"name":"'"$WS1"'"}' --fields=id --format=csv)
2290
- ```
2291
-
2292
- b- Get id of second workspace
2293
-
2294
- ```
2295
- WS2='Second Workspace'
2296
- WS2ID=$(<%=cmd%> aoc admin res workspace list --query=@json:'{"q":"'"$WS2"'"}' --select=@json:'{"name":"'"$WS2"'"}' --fields=id --format=csv)
2297
- ```
2298
-
2299
- c- Extract membership information
2300
-
2301
- ```
2302
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res workspace_membership list --fields=manager,member_id,member_type,workspace_id --query=@json:'{"workspace_id":'"$WS1ID"'}' --format=jsonpp > ws1_members.json
2303
- ```
2304
-
2305
- d- Convert to creation data for second workspace:
2306
-
2307
- ```
2308
- grep -Eve '(direct|effective_manager|_count|storage|"id")' ws1_members.json|sed '/workspace_id/ s/"'"$WS1ID"'"/"'"$WS2ID"'"/g' > ws2_members.json
2309
- ```
2310
-
2311
- or, using jq:
2312
-
2313
- ```
2314
- jq '[.[] | {member_type,member_id,workspace_id,manager,workspace_id:"'"$WS2ID"'"}]' ws1_members.json > ws2_members.json
2315
- ```
2316
-
2317
- e- Add members to second workspace
2318
-
2319
- ```
2320
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res workspace_membership create --bulk=yes @json:@file:ws2_members.json
2321
- ```
2322
-
2323
- ### Example: Get users who did not log since a date
2324
-

2339
- ```
2340
-
2341
- ### Example: Perform a multi Gbps transfer between two remote shared folders
2342
-
2343
- In this example, a user has access to a workspace where two shared folders are located on different sites, e.g. different cloud regions.
2344
-
2345
- First, setup the environment (skip if already done)
2346

- You can test with:
2367
- <%=cmd%> aoc user info show
2368
- ```
2369
-
2370
- This creates the option preset "aoc_&lt;org name&gt;" to allow seamless command line access and sets it as default for aspera on cloud.
2371
-
2372
- Then, create two shared folders located in two regions, in your files home, in a workspace.
2373
-
2374
- Then, transfer between those:
2375
-
2376
- ```
2377
- <%=cmd%> -Paoc_show aoc files transfer --from-folder='IBM Cloud SJ' --to-folder='AWS Singapore' 100GB.file --ts=@json:'{"target_rate_kbps":"1000000","multi_session":10,"multi_session_threshold":1}'
2378
- ```
2379
-
2380
- ### Example: create registration key to register a node
2381
-
2382
- ```
2383
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res client create @json:'{"data":{"name":"laurentnode","client_subject_scopes":["alee","aejd"],"client_subject_enabled":true}}' --fields=token --format=csv
2384
- jfqslfdjlfdjfhdjklqfhdkl
2385
- ```
2386
-
2387
- ### Example: delete all registration keys
2388
-
2389
- ```
2390
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res client list --fields=id --format=csv|<%=cmd%> aoc admin res client delete --bulk=yes --id=@lines:@stdin:
2391
- +-----+---------+
2392
- | id | status |
2393
- +-----+---------+
2394
- | 99 | deleted |
2395
- | 100 | deleted |
2396
- | 101 | deleted |
2397
- | 102 | deleted |
2398
- +-----+---------+
2399
- ```
2400
-
2401
- ### Example: Create a node
2402
-
2403
- AoC nodes as actually composed with two related entities:
2404
-
2405
- * An access key created on the Transfer Server (HSTS/ATS)
2406
- * a `node` resource in the AoC application.
2407
-
2408
- The web UI allows creation of both entities in one shot but not the CLI for more flexibility.
2409
- Note that when selecting "Use existing access key" in the web UI, this actually skips access key creation.
2410
-
2411
- So, for example, the creation of a node using ATS in IBM Cloud looks like (see other example in this manual):
2412
-
2413
- * create the access key on ATS
2414
-
2415
- ```
2416
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin ats access_key create --cloud=softlayer --region=eu-de --params=@json:'{"storage":{"type":"ibm-s3","bucket":"mybucket","credentials":{"access_key_id":"mykey","secret_access_key":"mysecret"},"path":"/"}}'
2417
- ```
2418
-
2419
- Take a note of the randomly generated `id` and `secret`.
2420
-
2421
- * Retrieve the ATS node address
2422
-
2423
- ```
2424
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin ats cluster show --cloud=softlayer --region=eu-de --fields=transfer_setup_url --format=csv|cut -f2 -d,
2425
- ```
2426
-
2427
- * Create the node entity
2428
-
2429
- ```
2430
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res node create @json:'{"name":"myname","access_key":"*accesskeyid*","ats_access_key":true,"ats_storage_type":"ibm-s3","url":"https://ats-sl-fra-all.aspera.io"}'
2431
- ```
2432
-
2433
- Creation of a node with a self-managed node is similar, but the command `aoc admin ats access_key create` is replaced with `node access_key create` on the private node itself.
2434
-
2435
- ### Example: List packages in a given shared inbox
2436
-
2437
- First retrieve the id of the shared inbox, and then list packages with the appropriate filter.
2438
- (To find out available filters, consult the API definition, or use the web interface in developer mode).
2439
-
2440
- Note that when no query is provided, the query used by default is: `{"archived":false,"exclude_dropbox_packages":true,"has_content":true,"received":true}`. The workspace id is added if not already present in the query.
2441
-
2442
- ```
2443
- shbxid=$(<%=cmd%> aoc user shared_inboxes --select=@json:'{"dropbox.name":"My Shared Inbox"}' --format=csv --fields=dropbox_id --display=data)
2444
-
2445
- <%=cmd%> aoc packages list --query=@json:'{"dropbox_id":"'$shbxid'","archived":false,"received":true,"has_content":true,"exclude_dropbox_packages":false,"include_draft":false,"sort":"-received_at"}'
2446
- ```
2447
-
2448
- ## Packages
2449
-
2450
- The webmail-like application.
2451
-
2452
- ### Send a Package
2453
-
2454
- Send a package:
2455
-
2456
- ```
2457
- <%=cmd%> aoc packages send --value=[package extended value] [other parameters such as file list and transfer parameters]
2458
- ```
2459
-
2460
- Notes:
2461
-
2462
- * The `value` option can contain any supported package creation parameter. Refer to the AoC package creation API, or display an existing package in JSON to list attributes.
2463
- * List allowed shared inbox destinations with: `<%=cmd%> aoc user shared_inboxes`
2464
- * Use fields: `recipients` and/or `bcc_recipients` to provide the list of recipients: user or shared inbox.
2465
- * Provide either ids as expected by API: `"recipients":[{"type":"dropbox","id":"1234"}]`
2466
- * or just names: `"recipients":[{"The Dest"}]` . <%=cmd%> will resolve the list of email addresses and dropbox names to the expected type/id list, based on case insensitive partial match.
2467
- * If a user recipient (email) is not already registered and the workspace allows external users, then the package is sent to an external user, and
2468
- * if the option `new_user_option` is `@json:{"package_contact":true}` (default), then a public link is sent and the external user does not need to create an account
2469
- * if the option `new_user_option` is `@json:{}`, then external users are invited to join the workspace
2470
-
2471
- Examples:
2472
-
2473
- * Send a package with one file to two users, using their email
2474
-
2475
- ```
2476
- <%=cmd%> aoc package send --value=@json:'{"name":"my title","note":"my note","recipients":["laurent.martin.aspera@fr.ibm.com","other@example.com"]}' my_file.dat
2477
- ```
2478
-
2479
- * Send a package with one file to a shared inbox, using internal identifier, with specific transfer parameters
2480
-
2481
- ```
2482
- <%=cmd%> aoc package send --value=@json:'{"name":"my delivery","recipients":[{"type":"dropbox","id":"12345"}]}' --ts=@json:'{"target_rate_kbps":100000}' my_file.dat
2483
- ```
2484
-
2485
- * Send a package with one file to a shared inbox (by name) with metadata
2486
-
2487
- ```
2488
- <%=cmd%> aoc package send --workspace=eudemo --value=@json:'{"name":"my pack title","recipients":["Shared Inbox Name"],"metadata":[{"input_type":"single-text","name":"Project Id","values":["123"]},{"input_type":"single-dropdown","name":"Type","values":["Opt2"]},{"input_type":"multiple-checkbox","name":"CheckThose","values":["Check1","Check2"]},{"input_type":"date","name":"Optional Date","values":["2021-01-13T15:02:00.000Z"]}]}' ~/Documents/Samples/200KB.1
2489
- ```
2490
-
2491
- ### <a id="aoccargo"></a>Receive new packages only (Cargo)
2492
-
2493
- It is possible to automatically download new packages, like using Aspera Cargo:
2494
-
2495
- ```
2496
- <%=cmd%> aoc packages recv --id=ALL --once-only=yes --lock-port=12345
2497
- ```
2498
-
2499
- * `--id=ALL` (case sensitive) will download all packages
2500
- * `--once-only=yes` keeps memory of any downloaded package in persistency files located in the configuration folder
2501
- * `--lock-port=12345` ensures that only one instance is started at the same time, to avoid running two downloads in parallel
2502
-
2503
- Typically, one would execute this command on a regular basis, using the method of your choice:
2504
-
2505
- * Windows: [Task Scheduler](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/taskschd/task-scheduler-start-page)
2506
- * Linux/Unix: [cron](https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/crontab.5.html)
2507
- * etc...
2508
-
2509
- ## Files
2510
-
2511
- Folder sharing app.
2512
-
2513
- ### Download Files
2514
-
2515
- Download of files is straightforward with a specific syntax for the `aoc files download` action: Like other commands the source file list is provided as a list with the `sources` option. Nevertheless, consider this:
2516
-
2517
- * if only one source is provided, it is downloaded
2518
- * if multiple sources must be downloaded, then the first in list is the path of the source folder, and the remaining items are the file names in this folder (without path).
2519
-
2520
- ### Shared folders
2521
-
2522
- * list shared folders in node
2523
-
2524
- ```
2525
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res node --id=8669 shared_folders
2526
- ```
2527
-
2528
- * list shared folders in workspace
2529
-
2530
- ```
2531
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res workspace --id=10818 shared_folders
2532
- ```
2533
-
2534
- * list members of shared folder
2535
-
2536
- ```
2537
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res node --id=8669 v4 perm 82 show
2538
- ```
2539
-
2540
- ### Cross Organization transfers
2541
-
2542
- It is possible to transfer files directly between organizations without having to first download locally and then upload...
2543
-
2544
- Although optional, the creation of <%=prst%> is recommended to avoid placing all parameters in the command line.
2545
-
2546
- Procedure to send a file from org1 to org2:
2547
-
2548
- * Get access to Organization 1 and create a <%=prst%>: e.g. `org1`, for instance, use the [Wizard](#aocwizard)
2549
- * Check that access works and locate the source file e.g. `mysourcefile`, e.g. using command `files browse`
2550
- * Get access to Organization 2 and create a <%=prst%>: e.g. `org2`
2551
- * Check that access works and locate the destination folder `mydestfolder`
2552
- * execute the following:
2553
-
2554
- ```
2555
- <%=cmd%> -Porg1 aoc files node_info /mydestfolder --format=json --display=data | <%=cmd%> -Porg2 aoc files upload mysourcefile --transfer=node --transfer-info=@json:@stdin:
2556
- ```
2557
-
2558
- Explanation:
2559
-
2560
- * `-Porg1 aoc` use Aspera on Cloud plugin and load credentials for `org1`
2561
- * `files node_info /mydestfolder` generate transfer information including node api credential and root id, suitable for the next command
2562
- * `--format=json` format the output in JSON (instead of default text table)
2563
- * `--display=data` display only the result, and remove other information, such as workspace name
2564
- * `|` the standard output of the first command is fed into the second one
2565
- * `-Porg2 aoc` use Aspera on Cloud plugin and load credentials for `org2`
2566
- * `files upload mysourcefile` upload the file named `mysourcefile` (located in `org1`)
2567
- * `--transfer=node` use transfer agent type `node` instead of default [`direct`](#agt_direct)
2568
- * `--transfer-info=@json:@stdin:` provide `node` transfer agent information, i.e. node API credentials, those are expected in JSON format and read from standard input
2569
-
2570
- ### Find Files
2571
-
2572
- The command `aoc files find [--value=expression]` will recursively scan storage to find files matching the expression criteria. It works also on node resource using the v4 command. (see examples)
2573
-
2574
- The expression can be of 3 formats:
2575
-
2576
- * empty (default) : all files, equivalent to value: `exec:true`
2577
- * not starting with `exec:` : the expression is a regular expression, using [Ruby Regex](https://ruby-doc.org/core/Regexp.html) syntax. equivalent to value: `exec:f['name'].match(/expression/)`
2578
-
2579
- For instance, to find files with a special extension, use `--value='\.myext$'`
2580
-
2581
- * starting with `exec:` : the Ruby code after the prefix is executed for each entry found. The entry variable name is `f`. The file is displayed if the result of the expression is true;
2582
-
2583
- Examples of expressions: (using like this: `--value=exec:'<expression>'`)
2584
-
2585
- * Find files more recent than 100 days
2586
-
2587
- ```
2588
- f["type"].eql?("file") and (DateTime.now-DateTime.parse(f["modified_time"]))<100
2589
- ```
2590
-
2591
- * Find files older than 1 year on a given node and store in file list
2592
-
2593
- ```
2594
- <%=cmd%> aoc admin res node --name='my node name' --secret='my secret' v4 find / --fields=path --value='exec:f["type"].eql?("file") and (DateTime.now-DateTime.parse(f["modified_time"]))<100' --format=csv > my_file_list.txt
2595
- ```
2596
-
2597
- * Delete the files, one by one
2598
-
2599
- ```
2600
- cat my_file_list.txt|while read path;do echo <%=cmd%> aoc admin res node --name='my node name' --secret='my secret' v4 delete "$path" ;done
2601
- ```
2602
-
2603
- * Delete the files in bulk
2604
-
2605
- ```
2606
- cat my_file_list.txt | <%=cmd%> aoc admin res node --name='my node name' --secret='my secret' v3 delete @lines:@stdin:
2607
- ```
2608
-
2609
- # <a id="ats"></a>Plugin: Aspera Transfer Service
2610
-
2611
- ATS is usable either :
2612
-
2613
- * from an AoC subscription : <%=cmd%> aoc admin ats : use AoC authentication
2614
-
2615
- * or from an IBM Cloud subscription : <%=cmd%> ats : use IBM Cloud API key authentication
2616
-
2617
- ## IBM Cloud ATS : creation of api key
2618
-
2619
- This section is about using ATS with an IBM cloud subscription.
2620
- If you are using ATS as part of AoC, then authentication is thropugh AoC, not IBM Cloud.
2621
-
2622
- First get your IBM Cloud APIkey. For instance, it can be created using the IBM Cloud web interface, or using command line:
2623
-
2624
- ```
2625
- ibmcloud iam api-key-create mykeyname -d 'my sample key'
2626
- OK
2627
- API key mykeyname was created
2628
-
2629
- Please preserve the API key! It cannot be retrieved after it's created.
2630
-
2631
- Name mykeyname
2632
- Description my sample key
2633
- Created At 2019-09-30T12:17+0000
2634
- API Key my_secret_api_key_here_8f8d9fdakjhfsashjk678
2635
- Locked false
2636
- UUID ApiKey-05b8fadf-e7fe-4bc4-93a9-6fd348c5ab1f
2637
- ```

- Then, to register the key by default for the ats plugin, create a preset. Execute:
2645
-
2646
- ```
2647
- <%=cmd%> config preset update my_ibm_ats --ibm-api-key=my_secret_api_key_here_8f8d9fdakjhfsashjk678
2648
- <%=cmd%> config preset set default ats my_ibm_ats

2662
- +--------+----------------------------------------------+
2663
- <%=cmd%> config preset update my_ibm_ats --ats-key=ats_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX --ats-secret=YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
2664
- ```
2665
-
2666
- ## Examples
2667
-
2668
- Example: create access key on IBM Cloud (softlayer):
2669
-
2670
- ```
2671
- <%=cmd%> ats access_key create --cloud=softlayer --region=ams --params=@json:'{"storage":{"type":"softlayer_swift","container":"_container_name_","credentials":{"api_key":"value","username":"_name_:_usr_name_"},"path":"/"},"id":"_optional_id_","name":"_optional_name_"}'
2672
- ```
2673
-
2674
- Example: create access key on AWS:
2675
-
2676
- ```
2677
- <%=cmd%> ats access_key create --cloud=aws --region=eu-west-1 --params=@json:'{"id":"testkey3","name":"laurent key AWS","storage":{"type":"aws_s3","bucket":"my-bucket","credentials":{"access_key_id":"AKIA_MY_API_KEY","secret_access_key":"my/secret/here"},"path":"/laurent"}}'
2678
-
2679
- ```
2680
-
2681
- Example: create access key on Azure SAS:
2682
-
2683
- ```
2684
- <%=cmd%> ats access_key create --cloud=azure --region=eastus --params=@json:'{"id":"testkeyazure","name":"laurent key azure","storage":{"type":"azure_sas","credentials":{"shared_access_signature":"https://containername.blob.core.windows.net/blobname?sr=c&..."},"path":"/"}}'
2685
-
2686
- ```
2687
-
2688
- (Note that the blob name is mandatory after server address and before parameters. and that parameter sr=c is mandatory.)
2689
-
2690
- Example: create access key on Azure:
2691
-
2692
- ```
2693
- <%=cmd%> ats access_key create --cloud=azure --region=eastus --params=@json:'{"id":"testkeyazure","name":"laurent key azure","storage":{"type":"azure","credentials":{"account":"myaccount","key":"myaccesskey","storage_endpoint":"myblob"},"path":"/"}}'
2694
-
2695
- ```
2696
-
2697
- delete all my access keys:
2698
-
2699
- ```
2700
- for k in $(<%=cmd%> ats access_key list --field=id --format=csv);do <%=cmd%> ats access_key id $k delete;done
2701
- ```
2702
-
2703
- The parameters provided to ATS for access key creation are the ones of [ATS API](https://developer.ibm.com/apis/catalog?search=%22aspera%20ats%22) for the `POST /access_keys` endpoint.
2704
-
2705
- # Plugin: IBM Aspera High Speed Transfer Server (transfer)
2706
-
2707
- This plugin uses SSH as a session protocol (using commands `ascp` and `ascmd`) and does not use the node API.
2708
- It is the legacy way of accessing an Aspera Server, often used for server to server transfers.
2709
- Modern mode is to use the node API and transfer tokens.
2710
-
2711
- ## Authentication
2712
-
2713
- Both password and SSH keys auth are supported.
2714
-
2715
- If username is not provided, the default transfer user `xfer` is used.
2716
-
2717
- If no SSH password or key is provided, and a token is provided in transfer spec, then standard bypass keys are used:
2718
-
2719
- ```
2720
- <%=cmd%> server --url=ssh://... --ts=@json:'{"token":"Basic abc123"}'
2721
- ```
2722
-
2723
- Multiple SSH key paths can be provided.
2724
- The value of the parameter `ssh_keys` can be a single value or an array.
2725
- Each value is a path to a private key and is expanded (`~` is replaced with the user's home folder).
2726
-
2727
- Examples:
2728
-
2729
- ```
2730
- <%=cmd%> server --ssh-keys=~/.ssh/id_rsa
2731
- <%=cmd%> server --ssh-keys=@list:,~/.ssh/id_rsa
2732
- <%=cmd%> server --ssh-keys=@json:'["~/.ssh/id_rsa"]'
2733
- ```
2734
-
2735
- The underlying ssh library `net::ssh` provides several options that may be used depending on environment.
2736
- By default the ssh library expect that an ssh-agent is running.
2737
-
2738
- On Linux, if you get an error message such as:
2739
-
2740
- ```
2741
- ERROR -- net.ssh.authentication.agent: could not connect to ssh-agent: Agent not configured
2742
- ```
2743
-
2744
- or on Windows:
2745
-
2746
- ```
2747
- ERROR -- net.ssh.authentication.agent: could not connect to ssh-agent: pageant process not running
2748
- ```
2749
-
2750
- This means that you don't have such an ssh agent running, then:
2751
-
2752
- * check env var: `SSH_AGENT_SOCK`
2753
- * check if the ssh key is protected with a passphrase
2754
- * [check the manual](https://net-ssh.github.io/ssh/v1/chapter-2.html#s2)
2755
- * To disable use of `ssh-agent`, use the option `ssh_option` like this:
2756
-
2757
- ```
2758
- <%=cmd%> server --ssh-options=@ruby:'{use_agent: false}' ...
2759
- ```
2760
-
2761
- This can also be set as default using a global preset.
2762
-
2763
- ## Example
2764
-
2765
- One can test the `server` application using the well known demo server:
2766
-
2767
- ```
2768
- <%=cmd%> config initdemo
2769
- <%=cmd%> server browse /aspera-test-dir-large
2770
- <%=cmd%> server download /aspera-test-dir-large/200MB
2771
- ```
2772
-
2773
- `initdemo` creates a <%=prst%> `demoserver` and set it as default for plugin `server`.
2774
-
2775
- # Plugin: IBM Aspera High Speed Transfer Server (node)
2776
-
2777
- This plugin gives access to capabilities provided by HSTS node API.
2778
-
2779
- ## File Operations
2780
-
2781
- It is possible to:
2782
- * browse
2783
- * transfer (upload / download)
2784
- * ...
2785
-
2786
- For transfers, it is possible to control how transfer is authorized using option: `token_type`:
2787
-
2788
- * `aspera` : api `<upload|download>_setup` is called to create the transfer spec including the Aspera token
2789
- * `basic` : transfer spec is created like this:
2790
-
2791
- ```
2792
- {
2793
- "remote_host": address of node url,
2794
- "remote_user": "xfer",
2795
- "ssh_port": 33001,
2796
- "token": "Basic <base 64 encoded user/pass>",
2797
- "direction": send/recv
2798
- }
2799
- ```
2800
-
2801
- * `hybrid` : same as `aspera`, but token is replaced with basic token like `basic`
2802
-
2803
- ## Central
2804
-
2805
- The central subcommand uses the "reliable query" API (session and file). It allows listing transfer sessions and transferred files.
2806
-
2807
- Filtering can be applied:
2808
-
2809
- ```
2810
- <%=cmd%> node central file list
2811
- ```
2812
-
2813
- by providing the `validator` option, offline transfer validation can be done.
2814
-
2815
- ## FASP Stream
2816
-
2817
- It is possible to start a FASPStream session using the node API:
2818
-
2819
- Use the "node stream create" command, then arguments are provided as a [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec).
2820
-
2821
- ```
2822
- <%=cmd%> node stream create --ts=@json:'{"direction":"send","source":"udp://233.3.3.4:3000?loopback=1&ttl=2","destination":"udp://233.3.3.3:3001/","remote_host":"localhost","remote_user":"stream","remote_password":"XXXX"}' --preset=stream
2823
- ```
2824
-
2825
- ## Watchfolder
2826
-
2827
- Refer to [Aspera documentation](https://download.asperasoft.com/download/docs/entsrv/3.7.4/es_admin_linux/webhelp/index.html#watchfolder_external/dita/json_conf.html) for watch folder creation.
2828
-
2829
- <%=tool%> supports remote operations through the node API. Operations are:
2830
-
2831
- * Start watchd and watchfolderd services running as a system user having access to files
2832
- * configure a watchfolder to define automated transfers
2833
-
2834
- ```
2835
- <%=cmd%> node service create @json:'{"id":"mywatchd","type":"WATCHD","run_as":{"user":"user1"}}'
2836
- <%=cmd%> node service create @json:'{"id":"mywatchfolderd","type":"WATCHFOLDERD","run_as":{"user":"user1"}}'
2837
- <%=cmd%> node watch_folder create @json:'{"id":"mywfolder","source_dir":"/watch1","target_dir":"/","transport":{"host":"10.25.0.4","user":"user1","pass":"mypassword"}}'
2838
- ```
2839
-
2840
- ## Out of Transfer File Validation
2841
-
2842
- Follow the Aspera Transfer Server configuration to activate this feature.
2843
-
2844
- ```
2845
- <%=cmd%> node central file list --validator=<%=cmd%> --data=@json:'{"file_transfer_filter":{"max_result":1}}'
2846
- :..............:..............:............:......................................:
2847
- : session_uuid : file_id : status : path :
2848
- :..............:..............:............:......................................:
2849
- : 1a74444c-... : 084fb181-... : validating : /home/xfer.../PKG - my title/200KB.1 :
2850
- :..............:..............:............:......................................:
2851
- <%=cmd%> node central file update --validator=<%=cmd%> --data=@json:'{"files":[{"session_uuid": "1a74444c-...","file_id": "084fb181-...","status": "completed"}]}'
2852
- updated
2853
- ```
2854
-
2855
- ## Example: SHOD to ATS
2856
-
2857
- Access to a "Shares on Demand" (SHOD) server on AWS is provided by a partner. And we need to
2858
- transfer files from this third party SHOD instance into our Azure BLOB storage.
2859
- Simply create an "Aspera Transfer Service" instance (https://ts.asperasoft.com), which
2860
- provides access to the node API.
2861
- Then create a configuration for the "SHOD" instance in the configuration file: in section
2862
- "shares", a configuration named: awsshod.
2863
- Create another configuration for the Azure ATS instance: in section "node", named azureats.
2864
- Then execute the following command:
2865
-
2866
- ```
2867
- <%=cmd%> node download /share/sourcefile --to-folder=/destinationfolder --preset=awsshod --transfer=node --transfer-info=@preset:azureats
2868
- ```
2869
-
2870
- This will get transfer information from the SHOD instance and tell the Azure ATS instance
2871
- to download files.
2872
-
2873
- ## Create access key
2874
-
2875
- ```
2876
- <%=cmd%> node access_key create --value=@json:'{"id":"eudemo-sedemo","secret":"mystrongsecret","storage":{"type":"local","path":"/data/asperafiles"}}'
2877
- ```
2878
-
2879
- # Plugin: IBM Aspera Faspex5
2880
-
2881
- 3 authentication methods are supported:
2882
-
2883
- * jwt
2884
- * web
2885
- * boot
2886
-
2887
- For JWT, create an API client in Faspex with jwt support, and use: `--auth=jwt`.
2888
-
2889
- For web method, create an API client in Faspex, and use: --auth=web
2890
-
2891
- For boot method: (will be removed in future)
2892
-
2893
- * open a browser
2894
- * start developer mode
2895
- * login to faspex 5
2896
- * find the first API call with `Authorization` token, and copy it (kind of base64 long string)
2897
-
2898
- Use it as password and use `--auth=boot`.
2899
-
2900
- ```
2901
- <%=cmd%> conf id f5boot update --url=https://localhost/aspera/faspex --auth=boot --password=ABC.DEF.GHI...
2902
- ```
2903
-
2904
- Ready to use Faspex5 with CLI.
2905
-
2906
- # Plugin: IBM Aspera Faspex (4.x)
2907
-
2908
- Notes:
2909
-
2910
- * The command "v4" requires the use of APIv4, refer to the Faspex Admin manual on how to activate.
2911
- * For full details on Faspex API, refer to: [Reference on Developer Site](https://developer.ibm.com/apis/catalog/?search=faspex)
2912
-
2913
- ## Listing Packages
2914
-
2915
- Command: `faspex package list`
2916
-
2917
- ### Option `box`
2918
-
2919
- By default it looks in box `inbox`, but the following boxes are also supported: `archive` and `sent`, selected with option `box`.
2920
-
2921
- ### Option `recipient`
2922
-
2923
- A user can receive a package because the recipient is:
2924
-
2925
- * the user himself (default)
2926
- * the user is part of a dropbox or a workgroup (select with option `recipient` with value `*<name of WG or DB>`
2927
-
2928
- ### Option `query`
2929
-
2930
- As inboxes may be large, it is possible to use the following query parameters:
2931
-
2932
- * `count` : (native) number items in one API call (default=0, equivalent to 10)
2933
- * `page` : (native) id of page in call (default=0)
2934
- * `startIndex` : (native) index of item to start, default=0, oldest index=0
2935
- * `max` : maximum number of items
2936
- * `pmax` : maximum number of pages
2937
-
2938
- (SQL query is `LIMIT <startIndex>, <count>`)
2939
-
2940
- The API is listed in [Faspex 4 API Reference](https://developer.ibm.com/apis/catalog/?search=faspex) under "Services (API v.3)".
2941
-
2942
- If no parameter `max` or `pmax` is provided, then all packages will be listed in the inbox, which result in paged API calls (using parameter: `count` and `page`). By default page is `0` (`10`), it can be increased to have less calls.
2943
-
2944
- ### Example
2945
-
2946
- ```
2947
- <%=cmd%> faspex package list --box=inbox --recipient='*my_dropbox' --query=@json:'{"max":20,"pmax":2,"count":20}'
2948
- ```
2949
-
2950
- List a maximum of 20 items grouped by pages of 20, with maximum 2 pages in received box (inbox) when received in dropbox `*my_dropbox`.
2951
-
2952
- ## Receiving a Package
2953
-
2954
- The command is `package recv`, possible methods are:
2955
-
2956
- * provide a package id with option `id`
2957
- * provide a public link with option `link`
2958
- * provide a `faspe:` URI with option `link`
2959
-
2960
- ```
2961
- <%=cmd%> faspex package recv --id=12345
2962
- <%=cmd%> faspex package recv --link=faspe://...
2963
- ```
2964
-
2965
- If the package is in a specific dropbox, add option `recipient` for both the `list` and `recv` commands.
2966
-
2967
- ```
2968
- <%=cmd%> faspex package list --recipient='*thedropboxname'
2969
- ```
2970
-
2971
- if `id` is set to `ALL`, then all packages are downloaded, and if option `once_only`is used, then a persistency file is created to keep track of already downloaded packages.
2972
-
2973
- ## Sending a Package
2974
-
2975
- The command is `faspex package send`. Package information (title, note, metadata, options) is provided in option `delivery_info`. (Refer to Faspex API).
2976
-
2977
- Example:
2978
-
2979
- ```
2980
- <%=cmd%> faspex package send --delivery-info=@json:'{"title":"my title","recipients":["laurent.martin.aspera@fr.ibm.com"]}' --url=https://faspex.corp.com/aspera/faspex --username=foo --password=bar /tmp/file1 /home/bar/file2
2981
- ```
2982
-
2983
- If the recipient is a dropbox, just provide the name of the dropbox in `recipients`: `"recipients":["My Dropbox Name"]`
2984
-
2985
- Additional optional parameters in `delivery_info`:
2986
-
2987
- * Package Note: : `"note":"note this and that"`
2988
- * Package Metadata: `"metadata":{"Meta1":"Val1","Meta2":"Val2"}`
2989
-
2990
- ## Email notification on transfer
2991
-
2992
- Like for any transfer, a notification can be sent by email using parameters: `notif_to` and `notif_template` .
2993
-
2994
- Example:
2995
-
2996
- ```
2997
- <%=cmd%> faspex package send --delivery-info=@json:'{"title":"test pkg 1","recipients":["aspera.user1@gmail.com"]}' ~/Documents/Samples/200KB.1 --notif-to=aspera.user1@gmail.com --notif-template=@ruby:'%Q{From: <%='<'%>%=from_name%> <<%='<'%>%=from_email%>>\nTo: <<%='<'%>%=to%>>\nSubject: Package sent: <%='<'%>%=ts["tags"]["aspera"]["faspex"]["metadata"]["_pkg_name"]%> files received\n\nTo user: <%='<'%>%=ts["tags"]["aspera"]["faspex"]["recipients"].first["email"]%>}'
2998
- ```
2999
-
3000
- In this example the notification template is directly provided on command line. Package information placed in the message are directly taken from the tags in transfer spec. The template can be placed in a file using modifier: `@file:`
3001
-
3002
- ## Operation on dropboxes
3003
-
3004
- Example:
3005
-
3006
- ```
3007
- <%=cmd%> faspex v4 dropbox create --value=@json:'{"dropbox":{"e_wg_name":"test1","e_wg_desc":"test1"}}'
3008
- <%=cmd%> faspex v4 dropbox list
3009
- <%=cmd%> faspex v4 dropbox delete --id=36
3010
- ```
3011
-
3012
- ## Remote sources
3013
-
3014
- Faspex lacks an API to list the contents of a remote source (available in web UI). To workaround this,
3015
- the node API is used, for this it is required to add a section ":storage" that links
3016
- a storage name to a node config and sub path.
3017
-
3018
- Example:
3019
-
3020
- ```yaml
3021
- my_faspex_conf:
3022
- url: https://10.25.0.3/aspera/faspex
3023
- username: admin
3024
- password: MyPassword
3025
- storage:
3026
- testlaurent:
3027
- node: "@preset:my_faspex_node"
3028
- path: /myfiles
3029
- my_faspex_node:
3030
- url: https://10.25.0.3:9092
3031
- username: node_faspex
3032
- password: MyPassword
3033
- ```
3034
-
3035
- In this example, a faspex storage named "testlaurent" exists in Faspex, and is located
3036
- under the docroot in "/myfiles" (this must be the same as configured in Faspex).
3037
- The node configuration name is "my_faspex_node" here.
3038
-
3039
- Note: the v4 API provide an API for nodes and shares.
3040
-
3041
- ## Automated package download (cargo)
3042
-
3043
- It is possible to tell <%=tool%> to download newly received packages, much like the official
3044
- cargo client, or drive. Refer to the [same section](#aoccargo) in the Aspera on Cloud plugin:
3045
-
3046
- ```
3047
- <%=cmd%> faspex packages recv --id=ALL --once-only=yes --lock-port=12345
3048
- ```
3049
-
3050
- # Plugin: IBM Aspera Shares
3051
-
3052
- Aspera Shares supports the "node API" for the file transfer part. (Shares 1 and 2)
3053
-
3054
- In Shares2, users, groups listing are paged, to display sequential pages:
3055
-
3056
- ```
3057
- for p in 1 2 3;do <%=cmd%> shares2 admin users list --value=@json:'{"page":'$p'}';done
3058
- ```
3059
-
3060
- # Plugin: IBM Cloud Object Storage
3061
-
3062
- The IBM Cloud Object Storage provides the possibility to execute transfers using FASP.
3063
- It uses the same transfer service as Aspera on Cloud, called Aspera Transfer Service (ATS).
3064
- Available ATS regions: [https://status.aspera.io](https://status.aspera.io)
3065
-
3066
- There are two possibilities to provide credentials. If you already have the endpoint, apikey and CRN, use the first method. If you don't have credentials but have access to the IBM Cloud console, then use the second method.
3067
-
3068
- ## Using endpoint, apikey and Resource Instance ID (CRN)
3069
-
3070
- If you have those parameters already, then following options shall be provided:
3071
-
3072
- * `bucket` bucket name
3073
- * `endpoint` storage endpoint url, e.g. https://s3.hkg02.cloud-object-storage.appdomain.cloud
3074
- * `apikey` API Key
3075
- * `crn` resource instance id
3076
-
3077
- For example, let us create a default configuration:
3078
-
3079
- ```
3080
- <%=cmd%> conf id mycos update --bucket=mybucket --endpoint=https://s3.us-east.cloud-object-storage.appdomain.cloud --apikey=abcdefgh --crn=crn:v1:bluemix:public:iam-identity::a/xxxxxxx
3081
- <%=cmd%> conf id default set cos mycos
3082
- ```
3083
-
3084
- Then, jump to the transfer example.
3085
-
3086
- ## Using service credential file
3087
-
3088
- If you are the COS administrator and don't have yet the credential: Service credentials are directly created using the IBM cloud web ui. Navigate to:
3089
-
3090
- Navigation Menu &rarr; Resource List &rarr; Storage &rarr; Cloud Object Storage &rarr; Service Credentials &rarr; &lt;select or create credentials&gt; &rarr; view credentials &rarr; copy
3091
-
3092
- Then save the copied value to a file, e.g. : `$HOME/cos_service_creds.json`
3093
-
3094
- or using the IBM Cloud CLI:
3095
-
3096
- ```
3097
- ibmcloud resource service-keys
3098
- ibmcloud resource service-key aoclaurent --output JSON|jq '.[0].credentials'>$HOME/service_creds.json
3099
- ```
3100
-
3101
- (if you don't have `jq` installed, extract the structure as follows)
3102
-
3103
- It consists in the following structure:
3104
-
3105
- ```
3106
- {
3107
- "apikey": "xxxxxxx.....",
3108
- "cos_hmac_keys": {
3109
- "access_key_id": "xxxxxxx.....",
3110
- "secret_access_key": "xxxxxxx....."
3111
- },
3112
- "endpoints": "https://control.cloud-object-storage.cloud.ibm.com/v2/endpoints",
3113
- "iam_apikey_description": "my description ...",
3114
- "iam_apikey_name": "my key name",
3115
- "iam_role_crn": "crn:v1:bluemix:public:iam::::serviceRole:Writer",
3116
- "iam_serviceid_crn": "crn:v1:bluemix:public:iam-identity::a/xxxxxxx.....",
3117
- "resource_instance_id": "crn:v1:bluemix:public:cloud-object-storage:global:a/xxxxxxx....."
3118
- }
3119
- ```
3120
-
3121
- The field `resource_instance_id` is for option `crn`
3122
-
3123
- The field `apikey` is for option `apikey`
3124
-
3125
- (If needed: endpoints for regions can be found by querying the `endpoints` URL.)
3126
-
3127
- The required options for this method are:
3128
-
3129
- * `bucket` bucket name
3130
- * `region` bucket region, e.g. eu-de
3131
- * `service_credentials` see below
3132
-
3133
- For example, let us create a default configuration:
3134
-
3135
- ```
3136
- <%=cmd%> conf id mycos update --bucket=laurent --service-credentials=@val:@json:@file:~/service_creds.json --region=us-south
3137
- <%=cmd%> conf id default set cos mycos
3138
- ```
3139
-
3140
- ## Operations, transfers
3141
-
3142
- Let's assume you created a default configuration from once of the two previous steps (else specify the access options on command lines).
3143
-
3144
- A subset of `node` plugin operations are supported, basically node API:
3145
-
3146
- ```
3147
- <%=cmd%> cos node info
3148
- <%=cmd%> cos node upload 'faux:///sample1G?1g'
3149
- ```
3150
-
3151
- Note: we generate a dummy file `sample1G` of size 2GB using the `faux` PVCL (man ascp and section above), but you can of course send a real file by specifying a real file instead.
3152
-
3153
- # Plugin: IBM Aspera Sync
3154
-
3155
- A basic plugin to start an "async" using <%=tool%>.
3156
- The main advantage is the possibility to start from ma configuration file, using <%=tool%> standard options.
3157
-
3158
- # Plugin: Preview
3159
-
3160
- The `preview` generates "previews" of graphical files, i.e. thumbnails (office, images, video) and video previews on storage for use primarily in the Aspera on Cloud application.
3161
- This is based on the "node API" of Aspera HSTS when using Access Keys only inside it's "storage root".
3162
- Several parameters can be used to tune several aspects:
3163
-
3164
- * methods for detection of new files needing generation
3165
- * methods for generation of video preview
3166
- * parameters for video handling
3167
-
3168
- ## Aspera Server configuration
3169
-
3170
- Specify the previews folder as shown in:
3171
-
3172
- <https://ibmaspera.com/help/admin/organization/installing_the_preview_maker>
3173
-
3174
- By default, the `preview` plugin expects previews to be generated in a folder named `previews` located in the storage root. On the transfer server execute:
3175
-
3176
- ```
3177
- PATH=/opt/aspera/bin:$PATH
3178
-
3179
- asconfigurator -x "server;preview_dir,previews"
3180
- asnodeadmin --reload
3181
- ```
3182
-
3183
- Note: the configuration `preview_dir` is *relative* to the storage root, no need leading or trailing `/`. In general just set the value to `previews`
3184
-
3185
- If another folder is configured on the HSTS, then specify it to <%=tool%> using the option `previews_folder`.
3186
-
3187
- The HSTS node API limits any preview file to a parameter: `max_request_file_create_size_kb` (1 KB is 1024 bytes).
3188
- This size is internally capped to `1<<24` Bytes (16777216) , i.e. 16384 KBytes.
3189
-
3190
- To change this parameter in `aspera.conf`, use `asconfigurator`. To display the value, use `asuserdata`:
3191
-
3192
- ```
3193
- asuserdata -a | grep max_request_file_create_size_kb
3194
-
3195
- max_request_file_create_size_kb: "1024"
3196
-
3197
- asconfigurator -x "server; max_request_file_create_size_kb,16384"
3198
- ```
3199
-
3200
- If you use a value different than 16777216, then specify it using option `max_size`.
3201
-
3202
- Note: the HSTS parameter (max_request_file_create_size_kb) is in *kiloBytes* while the generator parameter is in *Bytes* (factor of 1024).
3203
-
3204
- ## <a id="prev_ext"></a>External tools: Linux
3205
-
3206
- The tool requires the following external tools available in the `PATH`:
3207
-
3208
- * ImageMagick : `convert` `composite`
3209
- * OptiPNG : `optipng`
3210
- * FFmpeg : `ffmpeg` `ffprobe`
3211
- * Libreoffice : `libreoffice`
3212
- * ruby gem `mimemagic`
3213
-
3214
- Here shown on Redhat/CentOS.
3215
-
3216
- Other OSes should work as well, but are note tested.
3217
-
3218
- To check if all tools are found properly, execute:
3219
-
3220
- ```
3221
- <%=cmd%> preview check
3222
- ```
3223
-
3224
- ### mimemagic
3225
-
3226
- To benefit from extra mime type detection install gem mimemagic:
3227
-
3228
- ```
3229
- gem install mimemagic
3230
- ```
3231
-
3232
- or to install an earlier version if any problem:
3233
-
3234
- ```
3235
- gem install mimemagic -v '~> 0.3.0'
3236
- ```
3237
-
3238
- To use it, set option `mimemagic` to `yes`: `--mimemagic=yes`
3239
-
3240
- If not used, Mime type used for conversion is the one provided by the node API.
3241
-
3242
- If used, it the `preview` command will first analyze the file content using mimemagic, and if no match, will try by extension.
3243
-
3244
- ### Image: ImageMagick and optipng
3245
-
3246
- ```
3247
- yum install -y ImageMagick optipng
3248
- ```
3249
-
3250
- ### Video: FFmpeg
3251
-
3252
- The easiest method is to download and install the latest released version of ffmpeg with static libraries from [https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/](https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/)
3253
-
3254
- ```
3255
- curl -s https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/releases/ffmpeg-release-amd64-static.tar.xz|(mkdir -p /opt && cd /opt && rm -f ffmpeg /usr/bin/{ffmpeg,ffprobe} && rm -fr ffmpeg-*-amd64-static && tar xJvf - && ln -s ffmpeg-* ffmpeg && ln -s /opt/ffmpeg/{ffmpeg,ffprobe} /usr/bin)
3256
- ```
3257
-
3258
- ### Office: Unoconv and Libreoffice
3259
-
3260
- If you don't want to have preview for office documents or if it is too complex you can skip office document preview generation by using option: `--skip-types=office`
3261
-
3262
- The generation of preview in based on the use of `unoconv` and `libreoffice`
3263
-
3264
- * CentOS 8
3265
-
3266
- ```
3267
- dnf install unoconv
3268
- ```
3269
-
3270
- * Amazon Linux
3271
-
3272
- ```
3273
- amazon-linux-extras enable libreoffice
3274
- yum clean metadata
3275
- yum install libreoffice-core libreoffice-calc libreoffice-opensymbol-fonts libreoffice-ure libreoffice-writer libreoffice-pyuno libreoffice-impress
3276
- wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/unoconv/unoconv/master/unoconv
3277
- mv unoconv /usr/bin
3278
- chmod a+x /usr/bin/unoconv
3279
- ```
3280
-
3281
- ## Configuration
3282
-
3283
- The preview generator is run as a user, preferably a regular user (not root). When using object storage, any user can be used, but when using local storage it is usually better to use the user `xfer`, as uploaded files are under this identity: this ensures proper access rights. (we will assume this)
3284
-
3285
- Like any <%=tool%> commands, parameters can be passed on command line or using a configuration <%=prst%>. The configuration file must be created with the same user used to run so that it is properly used on runtime.
3286
-
3287
- Note that the `xfer` user has a special protected shell: `aspshell`, so changing identity requires specification of alternate shell:
3288
-
3289
- ```
3290
- su -s /bin/bash - xfer
3291
-
3292
- <%=cmd%> config preset update previewconf --url=https://localhost:9092 --username=my_access_key --password=my_secret --skip-types=office --lock-port=12346
3293
-
3294
- <%=cmd%> config preset set default preview previewconf
3295
- ```
3296
-
3297
- Here we assume that Office file generation is disabled, else remove this option.
3298
- `lock_port` prevents concurrent execution of generation when using a scheduler.
3299
-
3300
- One can check if the access key is well configured using:
3301
-
3302
- ```
3303
- <%=cmd%> -Ppreviewconf node browse /
3304
- ```
3305
-
3306
- This shall list the contents of the storage root of the access key.
3307
-
3308
- ## Execution
3309
-
3310
- The tool intentionally supports only a "one shot" mode (no infinite loop) in order to avoid having a hanging process or using too many resources (calling REST api too quickly during the scan or event method).
3311
- It needs to be run on a regular basis to create or update preview files. For that use your best
3312
- reliable scheduler. For instance use "CRON" on Linux or Task Scheduler on Windows.
3313
-
3314
- Typically, for "Access key" access, the system/transfer is `xfer`. So, in order to be consistent have generate the appropriate access rights, the generation process should be run as user `xfer`.
3315
-
3316
- Lets do a one shot test, using the configuration previously created:
3317
-
3318
- ```
3319
- su -s /bin/bash - xfer
3320
-
3321
- <%=cmd%> preview scan --overwrite=always
3322
- ```
3323
-
3324
- When the preview generator is first executed it will create a file: `.aspera_access_key`
3325
- in the previews folder which contains the access key used.
3326
- On subsequent run it reads this file and check that previews are generated for the same access key, else it fails. This is to prevent clash of different access keys using the same root.
3327
-
3328
- ## Configuration for Execution in scheduler
3329
-
3330
- Here is an example of configuration for use with cron on Linux.
3331
- Adapt the scripts to your own preference.
3332
-
3333
- We assume here that a configuration preset was created as shown previously.
3334
-
3335
- Lets first setup a script that will be used in the scheduler and sets up the environment.
3336
-
3337
- Example of startup script `cron_<%=cmd%>`, which sets the Ruby environment and adds some timeout protection:
3338
-
3339
- ```
3340
- #!/bin/bash
3341
- # set a timeout protection, just in case
3342
- case "$*" in *trev*) tmout=10m ;; *) tmout=30m ;; esac
3343
- . /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh
3344
- rvm use 2.6 --quiet
3345
- exec timeout ${tmout} <%=cmd%> "${@}"
3346
- ```
3347
-
3348
- Here the cronjob is created for user `xfer`.
3349
-
3350
- ```
3351
- crontab<<EOF
3352
- 0 * * * * /home/xfer/cron_<%=cmd%> preview scan --logger=syslog --display=error
3353
- 2-59 * * * * /home/xfer/cron_<%=cmd%> preview trev --logger=syslog --display=error
3354
- EOF
3355
- ```
3356
-
3357
- Note that the logging options are kept in the cronfile instead of conf file to allow execution on command line with output on command line.
3358
-
3359
- ## Candidate detection for creation or update (or deletion)
3360
-
3361
- The tool generates preview files using those commands:
3362
-
3363
- * `trevents` : only recently uploaded files will be tested (transfer events)
3364
- * `events` : only recently uploaded files will be tested (file events: not working)
3365
- * `scan` : recursively scan all files under the access key&apos;s "storage root"
3366
- * `test` : test using a local file
3367
-
3368
- Once candidate are selected, once candidates are selected,
3369
- a preview is always generated if it does not exist already,
3370
- else if a preview already exist, it will be generated
3371
- using one of three values for the `overwrite` option:
3372
-
3373
- * `always` : preview is always generated, even if it already exists and is newer than original
3374
- * `never` : preview is generated only if it does not exist already
3375
- * `mtime` : preview is generated only if the original file is newer than the existing
3376
-
3377
- Deletion of preview for deleted source files: not implemented yet (TODO).
3378
-
3379
- If the `scan` or `events` detection method is used, then the option : `skip_folders` can be used to skip some folders. It expects a list of path relative to the storage root (docroot) starting with slash, use the `@json:` notation, example:
3380
-
3381
- ```
3382
- <%=cmd%> preview scan --skip-folders=@json:'["/not_here"]'
3383
- ```
3384
-
3385
- The option `folder_reset_cache` forces the node service to refresh folder contents using various methods.
3386
-
3387
- When scanning the option `value` has the same behavior as for the `node find` command.
3388
-
3389
- For instance to filter out files beginning with `._` do:
3390
-
3391
- ```
3392
- ... --value='exec:!f["name"].start_with?("._") or f["name"].eql?(".DS_Store")'
3393
- ```
3394
-
3395
- ## Preview File types
3396
-
3397
- Two types of preview can be generated:
3398
-
3399
- * png: thumbnail
3400
- * mp4: video preview (only for video)
3401
-
3402
- Use option `skip_format` to skip generation of a format.
3403
-
3404
- ## Supported input Files types
3405
-
3406
- The preview generator supports rendering of those file categories:
3407
-
3408
- * image
3409
- * pdf
3410
- * plaintext
3411
- * office
3412
- * video
3413
-
3414
- To avoid generation for some categories, specify a list using option `skip_types`.
3415
-
3416
- Each category has a specific rendering method to produce the png thumbnail.
3417
-
3418
- The mp4 video preview file is only for category `video`
3419
-
3420
- File type is primarily based on file extension detected by the node API and translated info a mime type returned by the node API.
3421
-
3422
- The tool can also locally detect the mime type using gem `mimemagic`.
3423
-
3424
- ## Access to original files and preview creation
3425
-
3426
- Standard open source tools are used to create thumbnails and video previews.
3427
- Those tools require that original files are accessible in the local file system and also write generated files on the local file system.
3428
- The tool provides 2 ways to read and write files with the option: `file_access`
3429
-
3430
- If the preview generator is run on a system that has direct access to the file system, then the value `local` can be used. In this case, no transfer happen, source files are directly read from the storage, and preview files
3431
- are directly written to the storage.
3432
-
3433
- If the preview generator does not have access to files on the file system (it is remote, no mount, or is an object storage), then the original file is first downloaded, then the result is uploaded, use method `remote`.
3434
-
3435
-
3436
- # SMTP for email notifications
3437
-
3438
- Aspera CLI can send email, for that setup SMTP configuration. This is done with option `smtp`.
3439
-
3440
- The `smtp` option is a hash table (extended value) with the following fields:
3441
- <table>
3442
- <tr><th>field</th><th>default</th><th>example</th><th>description</th></tr>
3443
- <tr><td>`server`</td><td>-</td><td>smtp.gmail.com</td><td>SMTP server address</td></tr>
3444
- <tr><td>`tls`</td><td>true</td><td>false</td><td>use of TLS</td></tr>
3445
- <tr><td>`port`</td><td>587 for tls<br/>25 else</td><td>587</td><td>port for service</td></tr>
3446
- <tr><td>`domain`</td><td>domain of server</td><td>gmail.com</td><td>email domain of user</td></tr>
3447
- <tr><td>`username`</td><td>-</td><td>john@example.com</td><td>user to authenticate on SMTP server, leave empty for open auth.</td></tr>
3448
- <tr><td>`password`</td><td>-</td><td>MyP@ssword</td><td>password for above username</td></tr>
3449
- <tr><td>`from_email`</td><td>username if defined</td><td>laurent.martin.l@gmail.com</td><td>address used if received replies</td></tr>
3450
- <tr><td>`from_name`</td><td>same as email</td><td>John Wayne</td><td>display name of sender</td></tr>
3451
- </table>
3452
-
3453
- ## Example of configuration:
3454
-
3455
- ```
3456
- <%=cmd%> config preset set smtp_google server smtp.google.com
3457
- <%=cmd%> config preset set smtp_google username john@gmail.com
3458
- <%=cmd%> config preset set smtp_google password P@ssw0rd
3459
- ```
3460
-
3461
- or
3462
-
3463
- ```
3464
- <%=cmd%> config preset init smtp_google @json:'{"server":"smtp.google.com","username":"john@gmail.com","password":"P@ssw0rd"}'
3465
- ```
3466
-
3467
- or
3468
-
3469
- ```
3470
- <%=cmd%> config preset update smtp_google --server=smtp.google.com --username=john@gmail.com --password=P@ssw0rd
3471
- ```
3472
-
3473
- Set this configuration as global default, for instance:
3474
-
3475
- ```
3476
- <%=cmd%> config preset set cli_default smtp @val:@preset:smtp_google
3477
- <%=cmd%> config preset set default config cli_default
3478
- ```
3479
-
3480
- ## Email templates
3481
-
3482
- Sent emails are built using a template that uses the [ERB](https://www.tutorialspoint.com/ruby/eruby.htm) syntax.
3483
-
3484
- The template is the full SMTP message, including headers.
3485
-
3486
- The following variables are defined by default:
3487
-
3488
- * from_name
3489
- * from_email
3490
- * to
3491
-
3492
- Other variables are defined depending on context.
3493
-
3494
- ## Test
3495
-
3496
- Check settings with `smtp_settings` command. Send test email with `email_test`.
3497
-
3498
- ```
3499
- <%=cmd%> config --smtp=@preset:smtp_google smtp
3500
- <%=cmd%> config --smtp=@preset:smtp_google email --notif-to=sample.dest@example.com
3501
- ```
3502
-
3503
- ## Notifications for transfer status
3504
-
3505
- An e-mail notification can be sent upon transfer success and failure (one email per transfer job, one job being possibly multi session, and possibly after retry).
3506
-
3507
- To activate, use option `notif_to`.
3508
-
3509
- A default e-mail template is used, but it can be overridden with option `notif_template`.
3510
-
3511
- The environment provided contains the following additional variables:
3512
-
3513
- * subject
3514
- * body
3515
- * global_transfer_status
3516
- * ts
3517
-
3518
- Example of template:
3519
-
3520
- ```
3521
- From: <%='<'%>%=from_name%> <<%='<'%>%=from_email%>>
3522
- To: <<%='<'%>%=to%>>
3523
- Subject: <%='<'%>%=subject%>
3524
-
3525
- Transfer is: <%='<'%>%=global_transfer_status%>
3526
- ```
3527
-
3528
- # Tool: `asession`
3529
-
3530
- This gem comes with a second executable tool providing a simplified standardized interface
3531
- to start a FASP session: `asession`.
3532
-
3533
- It aims at simplifying the startup of a FASP session from a programmatic stand point as formatting a [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec) is:
3534
-
3535
- * common to Aspera Node API (HTTP POST /ops/transfer)
3536
- * common to Aspera Connect API (browser javascript startTransfer)
3537
- * easy to generate by using any third party language specific JSON library
3538
-
3539
- Hopefully, IBM integrates this diectly in `ascp`, and this tool is made redundant.
3540
-
3541
- This makes it easy to integrate with any language provided that one can spawn a sub process, write to its STDIN, read from STDOUT, generate and parse JSON.
3542
-
3543
- The tool expect one single argument: a [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec).
3544
-
3545
- If not argument is provided, it assumes a value of: `@json:@stdin:`, i.e. a JSON formatted [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec) on stdin.
3546
-
3547
- Note that if JSON is the format, one has to specify `@json:` to tell the tool to decode the hash using JSON.
3548
-
3549
- During execution, it generates all low level events, one per line, in JSON format on stdout.
3550
-
3551
- Note that there are special "extended" [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec) parameters supported by `asession`:
3552
-
3553
- * `EX_loglevel` to change log level of the tool
3554
- * `EX_file_list_folder` to set the folder used to store (exclusively, because of garbage collection) generated file lists. By default it is `[system tmp folder]/[username]_asession_filelists`
3555
-
3556
- Note that in addition, many "EX_" [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec) parameters are supported for the [`direct`](#agt_direct) transfer agent (used by `asession`), refer to section [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec).

- ## Simple session
3569
-
3570
- ```
3571
- MY_TSPEC='{"remote_host":"demo.asperasoft.com","remote_user":"asperaweb","ssh_port":33001,"remote_password":"_demo_pass_","direction":"receive","destination_root":"./test.dir","paths":[{"source":"/aspera-test-dir-tiny/200KB.1"}],"resume_level":"none"}'
3572
-
3573
- echo "${MY_TSPEC}"|asession
3574
- ```
3575
-
3576
- ## Asynchronous commands and Persistent session
3577
-
3578
- `asession` also supports asynchronous commands (on the management port). Instead of the traditional text protocol as described in ascp manual, the format for commands is: one single line per command, formatted in JSON, where parameters shall be "snake" style, for example: `LongParameter` -&gt; `long_parameter`
3579
-
3580
- This is particularly useful for a persistent session ( with the [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec) parameter: `"keepalive":true` )
3581
-
3582
- ```
3583

- # Hot folder
3603
-
3604
- ## Requirements
3605
-
3606
- <%=tool%> maybe used as a simple hot folder engine. A hot folder being defined as a tool that:
3607
-
3608
- * locally (or remotely) detects new files in a top folder
3609
- * send detected files to a remote (respectively, local) repository
3610
- * only sends new files, do not re-send already sent files
3611
- * optionally: sends only files that are not still "growing"
3612
- * optionally: after transfer of files, deletes or moves to an archive
3613
-
3614
- In addition: the detection should be made "continuously" or on specific time/date.
3615
-
3616
- ## Setup procedure
3617
-
3618
- The general idea is to rely on :
3619
-
3620
- * existing `ascp` features for detection and transfer
3621
- * take advantage of <%=tool%> configuration capabilities and server side knowledge
3622
- * the OS scheduler for reliability and continuous operation
3623
-
3624
- ### ascp features
3625
-
3626
- Interesting ascp features are found in its arguments: (see ascp manual):
3627
-
3628
- * `ascp` already takes care of sending only "new" files: option `-k 1,2,3`, or transfer_spec: `resume_policy`
3629
- * `ascp` has some options to remove or move files after transfer: `--remove-after-transfer`, `--move-after-transfer`, `--remove-empty-directories`
3630
- * `ascp` has an option to send only files not modified since the last X seconds: `--exclude-newer-than` (--exclude-older-than)
3631
- * `--src-base` if top level folder name shall not be created on destination
3632
-
3633
- Note that:
3634
-
3635
- * <%=tool%> takes transfer parameters exclusively as a transfer_spec, with `--ts` parameter.
3636
- * most, but not all native ascp arguments are available as standard transfer_spec parameters
3637
- * native ascp arguments can be provided with the [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec) parameter: EX_ascp_args (array), only for the [`direct`](#agt_direct) transfer agent (not connect or node)
3638
-
3639
- ### server side and configuration
3640
-
3641
- Virtually any transfer on a "repository" on a regular basis might emulate a hot folder. Note that file detection is not based on events (inotify, etc...), but on a stateless scan on source side.
3642
-
3643
- Note: parameters may be saved in a <%=prst%> and used with `-P`.
3644
-
3645
- ### Scheduling
3646
-
3647
- Once <%=tool%> parameters are defined, run the command using the OS native scheduler, e.g. every minutes, or 5 minutes, etc... Refer to section [_Scheduling_](#_scheduling_).
3648
-
3649
- ## Example
3650
-
3651
- ```
3652
- <%=cmd%> server upload source_hot --to-folder=/Upload/target_hot --lock-port=12345 --ts=@json:'{"EX_ascp_args":["--remove-after-transfer","--remove-empty-directories","--exclude-newer-than=-8","--src-base","source_hot"]}'
3653
-
3654
- ```
3655
-
3656
- The local folder (here, relative path: source_hot) is sent (upload) to basic fasp server, source files are deleted after transfer. growing files will be sent only once they don't grow anymore (based on an 8-second cooloff period). If a transfer takes more than the execution period, then the subsequent execution is skipped (lock-port).
3657
-
3658
- # Health check and Nagios
3659
-
3660
- Most plugin provide a `health` command that will check the health status of the application. Example:
3661
-
3662
- ```
3663
- <%=cmd%> console health
3664
- +--------+-------------+------------+
3665
- | status | component | message |
3666
- +--------+-------------+------------+
3667
- | ok | console api | accessible |
3668
- +--------+-------------+------------+
3669
- ```
3670
-
3671
- Typically, the health check uses the REST API of the application with the following exception: the `server` plugin allows checking health by:
3672
-
3673
- * issuing a transfer to the server
3674
- * checking web app status with `asctl all:status`
3675
- * checking daemons process status
3676
-
3677
- <%=tool%> can be called by Nagios to check the health status of an Aspera server. The output can be made compatible to Nagios with option `--format=nagios` :
3678
-
3679
- ```
3680
- <%=cmd%> server health transfer --to-folder=/Upload --format=nagios --progress=none
3681
- OK - [transfer:ok]
3682
- <%=cmd%> server health asctlstatus --cmd_prefix='sudo ' --format=nagios
3683
- OK - [NP:running, MySQL:running, Mongrels:running, Background:running, DS:running, DB:running, Email:running, Apache:running]
3684
- ```
3685
-
3686
- # Ruby Module: `Aspera`
3687
-
3688
- Main components:
3689
-
3690
- * `Aspera` generic classes for REST and OAuth
3691
- * `Aspera::Fasp`: starting and monitoring transfers. It can be considered as a FASPManager class for Ruby.
3692
- * `Aspera::Cli`: <%=tool%>.
3693
-
3694
- A working example can be found in the gem, example:
3695
-
3696
- ```
3697
- <%=cmd%> config gem_path
3698
- cat $(<%=cmd%> config gem_path)/../examples/transfer.rb
3699
- ```
3700
-
3701
- This sample code shows some example of use of the API as well as
3702
- REST API.
3703
- Note: although nice, it's probably a good idea to use RestClient for REST.
3704
-
3705
- Example of use of the API of Aspera on Cloud:
3706
-
3707
- ```
3708
- require 'aspera/aoc'
3709
-
3710
- aoc=Aspera::AoC.new(url: 'https://sedemo.ibmaspera.com',auth: :jwt, scope: 'user:all', private_key: File.read(File.expand_path('~/.aspera/<%=cmd%>/aspera_on_cloud_key')),username: 'laurent.martin.aspera@fr.ibm.com',subpath: 'api/v1')
3711
-
3712
- aoc.read('self')
3713
- ```
3714

3715
- # History
3716
-
3717
- When I joined Aspera, there was only one CLI: `ascp`, which is the implementation of the FASP protocol, but there was no CLI to access the various existing products (Server, Faspex, Shares). Once, Serban (founder) provided a shell script able to create a Faspex Package using Faspex REST API. Since all products relate to file transfers using FASP (ascp), I thought it would be interesting to have a unified CLI for transfers using FASP. Also, because there was already the `ascp` tool, I thought of an extended tool : `eascp.pl` which was accepting all `ascp` options for transfer but was also able to transfer to Faspex and Shares (destination was a kind of URI for the applications).
3718
-
3719
- There were a few pitfalls:
3720
-
3721
- * The tool was written in the aging `perl` language while most Aspera application products (but the Transfer Server) are written in `ruby`.
3722
- * The tool was only for transfers, but not able to call other products APIs
3723
-
3724
- So, it evolved into <%=tool%>:
3725
-
3726
- * portable: works on platforms supporting `ruby` (and `ascp`)
3727
- * easy to install with the `gem` utility
3728
- * supports transfers with multiple [Transfer Agents](#agents), that&apos;s why transfer parameters moved from ascp command line to [_transfer-spec_](#transferspec) (more reliable , more standard)
3729
- * `ruby` is consistent with other Aspera products
3730
-

- # BUGS, FEATURES, CONTRIBUTION
4160
-
4161
- For issues or feature requests use the Github repository and issues.
4162
-
4163
- You can also contribute to this open source project.
4164
-
4165
- One can also [create one's own plugin](#createownplugin).
4166
-
4167
- ## Only one value for any option
4168
-
4169
- Some commands and sub commands may ask for the same option name.
4170
- Currently, since option definition is position independent (last one wins), it is not possible
4171
- to give an option to a command and the same option with different value to a sub command.
4172
-
4173
- For instance, if an entity is identified by the option `id` but later on the command line another `id` option is required, then the later will override the earlier one, and both entity will use the same id.
4174
- As a solution, use the position specific notation for selection, i.e. provide the identified just after command and do not use option `id`.
4175
-
4176
- This happens typically for the `node` sub command, e.g. identify the node by name instead of id.

- ## ED255519 key not supported
4180
-
4181
- ED25519 keys are deactivated since version 0.9.24 so this type of key will just be ignored.
4182
-
4183
- Without this deactivation, if such key was present the following error was generated:
4184
-
4185
- ```
4186
- OpenSSH keys only supported if ED25519 is available
4187
- ```
4188
-
4189
- Which meant that you do not have ruby support for ED25519 SSH keys.
4190
- You may either install the suggested Gems, or remove your ed25519 key from your `.ssh` folder to solve the issue.
4191
-
4192
- ## Error "Remote host is not who we expected"
4193
-
4194
- Cause: `ascp` >= 4.x checks fingerprint of highest server host key, including ECDSA. `ascp` < 4.0 (3.9.6 and earlier) support only to RSA level (and ignore ECDSA presented by server). `aspera.conf` supports a single fingerprint.
4195
-
4196
- Workaround on client side: To ignore the certificate (SSH fingerprint) add option on client side (this option can also be added permanently to the config file):
4197
-
4198
- ```
4199
- --ts=@json:'{"sshfp":null}'
4200
- ```
4201
-
4202
- Workaround on server side: Either remove the fingerprint from `aspera.conf`, or keep only RSA host keys in `sshd_config`.
