HOSTS

Hosts define endpoint servers where MOVEit Automation can get or put files. Sources and destinations depend on host definitions. You must define a host before you can create and configure tasks that use the host in a Source or Destination.

Changes made to a host definition immediately affect all sources and destinations that depend on that definition. This behavior is useful when you are configuring many tasks that use the same host. For example, if the host changes its IP address, the source or destination reflects the change.

The Hosts page displays the following columns of information for each host.

Host Name - Specifies the unique host name.

Host Type - Specifies the host type. There are multiple host types. Each host is a single type. For more information, see Supported Host Types.

Security - Specifies whether the host is Secure or Insecure.

Note: Prior to the MOVEit Automation 2017 release, the name of the MOVEit Transfer product was changed from MOVEit DMZ to MOVEit Transfer. In MOVEit Automation 2017, both MOVEit Transfer servers and supported versions of MOVEit DMZ servers can be added as MOVEit Transfer hosts. In this help system, the term MOVEit Transfer host refers to a host based on a MOVEit DMZ server or a MOVEit Transfer server, unless otherwise indicated. For more information on supported versions, see the Release Notes.
