Unlike other sections of the XML, host XML nodes have node names which reflect the type of the host: siLock (for MOVEit DMZ), FTP, SSHFTP, FileSystem, SMTP, POP3, AS1, AS2, or AS3.
It is not necessary to include a FileSystem host in the TaskXML; if none is included, the configured FileSystem host is used. However, the other hosts referenced in the task must be included.
Host elements have the following attributes:
| Attribute | Description | Hosts |
| AddCom | The default additional commands ("quote" commands) sent before each transfer. | FTP |
| AddComAX | The default additional commands ("quote" commands) sent after each transfer. | FTP |
| AddComSignon | The additional commands ("quote" commands) sent right after signon. | FTP |
| AdjDST | 1 if this host's timestamps will change when Daylight Savings goes into (or out of) effect. | DMZ, FTP, SSH, Filesystem |
| AS1HostID | The ID of the related AS1 host, if applicable. | AS2 |
| AuthOrder | An optional string like "tls|tls-x|ssl" specifying
the order in which we should try AUTH commands if using explicit SSL. This is for maximum flexibility
with unusual FTP servers. The tokens in this string have these meanings: "tls" - Try AUTH TLS, followed by PROT P if nec. "tls-x" - Try AUTH TLS-P or TLS-C. "ssl" - Try AUTH SSL, also switching to SSL instead of TLS. "tls-y" - Try the opposite of the current type; e.g., if current type is TLS-P, try AUTH TLS-C. |
