The instructions work and are easy to follow. There is one optional improvement that I would suggest to avoid exposing passwords on the command history.

~/.aspera/sdk/ascp -k 3 -d -q --mode=send -QT -l300M --host=webin.ebi.ac.uk --user=Webin-XXXXX /local/path/to/*.gz /
```

1. Enter password if/when prompted. In order to not be prompted about password, export the password first: `export ASPERA_SCP_PASS='yourENApassword'`

Reading the password into a variable without exposing it in the command history

read -s ASPERA_SCP_PASS && export ASPERA_SCP_PASS

For a future version of these instructions, it might be useful to break out the instructions on how to use Aspera into a general section and only keep the install/activation instructions under Uppmax/Dardel etc. The general instructions could for example point to the Aspera CLI install instructions and the corresponding record on BioContainers.
