The Aspera protocol (FASP) is a proprietary accelerated file transfer protocol.

It required to have a server near the storage to be able to use it. All IBM Aspera clients (desktop, web, CLI, SDK) are free of charge. But not server.

An easy way to enable FASP on S3 (or other public cloud storage), is to subscribe to the Aspera on Cloud service. https://www.ibm.com/cloud/aspera

The documentation shows how to connect the Aspera service to your S3 bucket: https://ibmaspera.com/help/adding_aws_s3_bucket
