## 6.13.1 Build the file transfer 

As mentioned, for the file transfer portion of this scenario we will use IBM Aspera on Cloud. 

IBM Aspera on Cloud enables fast, easy, and secure exchange of files and folders of any size between end users, even across separate organizations, in both local and remote locations. 

Importantly for our scenario, using the Aspera on Cloud service means that the recipient of the file does not need to be running an Aspera Transfer Server, but is sent a link with which to retrieve the file they have been sent in an email-like workflow. This link will form the basis of our claim check.
