We have an installation of Aspera on a Linux servers, but we are a having issue on performance with the Antivirus.  Do you know which files and/or folder should I exclude from reviewing the Antivirus in order to not affect performance and not remove the antivirus and keep the server protected.   Thanks for your help on this.

Apologies - I posted the wrong response to this question.

Faspex supports a feature call OTFV. This can be used with virus scanner to validate files after they have been uploaded.

You'll want to disable automation virus scanning on you the faspex_packages directory. Then use OTFV to do the virus scanning after the transfers have completed.
