|---|---|---|
General |
||
Friendly Name |
A name for the host. The name you specify appears in the MOVEit Automation user interface. |
|
Description |
Optional. Description of the host. This field is informational only, and does not affect the operation of the host. |
|
Hostname/IP Address |
The full hostname (example: MOVEitstdnet.com) or IP address (example: 192.168.12.14) of the remote server. |
|

|
Sort Files by |
Specifies how to sort file listings when they are retrieved form a MOVEit Transfer server. Files are downloaded in the order they are listed, so your selections define which files are download first. |
|
Use File Notifications |
If selected: Tasks that access this host are run when files arrive, rather than periodically as defined by the scheduler. Recommended: Select this checkbox. For more information, see File Notifications. |
|
Secure Connection with SSL |
If selected: Enables secure communication between MOVEit Automation and the remote host. Secure MOVEit Transfer connections are typically initiated on port 443, rather than on insecure port 80. |
|
Ignore SSL Certificate errors |
Available only if Secure Connection is set. Ignores SSL certificate problems. Problems include: expired certificate, wrong hostname, certificate issued by an untrusted authority. This option is used primarily during testing, when you are using a temporary test certificate. If you do not select this checkbox, and MOVEit Automation detects a questionable certificate, MOVEit Automation will not connect to the host, and an error is logged. |
|
Client Certificate |
The SSL client certificate to use when establishing connections. Click Set Cert and choose a certificate. |
|
Test |
Click to test your connection. For more information, see Tests Performed on Hosts. |
