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.
Show only FIPS approved signing and encryption algorithms	Determines which options are listed in the Signing Algorithm and Encryption Algorithm fields in the My Organization and Partner sections.
My Organization
Organization Name	Name by which your organization is known, and identified within the file transfer process.
Signing Certificate	The SSL certificate used by your organization for message signing and decryption. Must be a full public/private certificate. The public portion of the certificate is given to the file transfer partner so that they can encrypt files to your organization and verify messages signed by your organization.
Signature Algorithm	The hash that is used for signing files. Supported algorithms: SHA1, MD5, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512.
Partner Organization
Partner Name	Name by which the partner is known, and identified within the file transfer process.
Certificate	The public portion of the SSL certificate used by the partner. This certificate is used to encrypt files to the partner and verify messages signed by the partner.
Encryption Algorithm	The symmetric encryption algorithm used for encrypting files. The algorithm must be agreed upon by both sides of the file transfer process. Supported algorithms are 3DES, DES, AES, AESCBC192, AESCBC256, and RC2. None disables encryption of files.
Compression Algorithm	The format used to automatically compress files. The format must be agreed upon by both sides of the file transfer process. The only supported format is ZLib. None disables the compression of files.
EDI Data Type	Tag that describes the format of the data. The tag is placed in the outbound message and applies to sending only. It does not affect the actual data bytes that are sent. Options: application/edi-x12 (default) Used in most cases. application/octet-stream: More generic, preferred by some recipients.
Transport Settings
FTP Hostname/IP Address	Hostname or IP address of FTP server that is used for AS3 messages uploads or downloads.
Port	Port number of the specified FTP server.
Secure Connection	SSL connection type to use when connecting to the FTP server. Options: None: MOVEit Automation connects insecurely to the server Explicit: MOVEit Automation connects insecurely to the server and then requests that a secure connection be negotiated before continuing. Implicit: MOVEit Automation connects securely to the server.
Ignore SSL Certificate errors	If selected: Problems with the partner FTP server's SSL certificate are ignored. Examples: lack of trust, a name that does not match the host name.
Username/Password	Credentials for MOVEit Automation to use when authenticating to the FTP server.
Client Certificate	SSL client certificate to use when establishing a secure connection to the FTP server.
Transfer Mode	FTP Transfer mode to use for uploading and downloading files. Options: Active: The FTP server initiates a data channel connection to MOVEit Automation for data transfers. Passive: (default). MOVEit Automation initiates a data channel connection to the FTP server for data transfers.
Test	Click to test your connection. For more information, see Tests Performed on Hosts.
