Aspera

My objective is to send a package using ascli. This is the complete command I am using;

# ascli faspex5 packages send  @json:'{"title":"test title","recipients":[{"name":"receiver_email_account"}]}' test_file.bin --ts=@json:'{"content_protection":"encrypt", "content_protection_password":"t3st_d@c3m6er"}'

 Uploading the package poses no issues, but I want the recipient to decrypt the files when they initiate the download. When I send a package directly from the web browser, it prompts a pop-up window, but with this command, it encrypts the files without asking for a password when the recipients begin the download.

How can I ensure that recipients are prompted to enter a password during the download process?

Hi,

using ascli version 4.15.0 and Faspex 5.0.6.2, downloading a password-protected package will lead to failure:

ascp: File decryption needs a passphrase in environment variable ASPERA_SCP_FILEPASS, exiting.

The user can provide the passphrase similarly to sending:

--ts=@json:'{"content_protection":"decrypt","content_protection_password":"t3st_d@c3m6er"}'

Or one can trigger an interactive input with:

--ts=@json:@extend:'{"content_protection":"decrypt","content_protection_password":"@secret:@"}'

In next version, by default it will interactively ask the passphrase unless the use specifies not to do so (keep encrypted or give password)

Hello,

thank you for your response and for providing me with the beta version.

However, it still doesn't prompt for the passphrase that I configured with 'content_protection_password' when receivers initiate the download.

Currently, they can download the encrypted version without entering a passphrase.

I would like the receivers to download the content in a decrypted form after entering the passphrase.

Is there a way to achieve this?
