Destination - SSH/SFTP Host Override Settings

A destination's Host Override settings override the corresponding setting that is configured in the host. Your selections affect the destination as it is defined in the context of the task.

To access these settings:

SSH/SFTP Destination - Host Override tab

Description

Authentication tab

  • Override Default Credentials

Specify a username and password for MOVEit Automation to use to sign on to the host.

  • Override Default Client Key

Click Set Key and select a key.

Timeouts tab

  • Override Default Connect Timeout

Number of seconds to wait when attempting to connect to the host.

  • Override Default Retry Count

Number of extra times that a transfer (get or put) is retried before MOVEit Automation no longer attempts the transfer. Default is 0 - transfer is not retried after a failure.

  • Override Default Retry Timeout

The number of seconds between retries of a transfer (get or put). Default is 30 seconds.

  • Override Default Transfer Rescan time

The number of seconds between directory scans to detect changes in file size or date.

The default is 0, which deactivates the feature. You can override the value in the individual task settings.

The Transfer Rescan prevents the download of incomplete files. After a file that matches the download criteria is identified, MOVEit Automation rescans the directory to detect file changes. If file changes are identified, MOVEit Automation implements one of the following options:

  • Traditional/Advanced tasks: The file is removed from the download list. This feature detects when another application is changing a file, which prevents MOVEit Automation from downloading partial files.

    Sync Tasks: The files are rescanned until successive scans identify unchanged files. This feature identifies stable sources, which prevents tasks running multiple times to capture and synchronize changes in a directory.

Transfer tab

  • Override Default Resume

If selected, the option Resume partial transfers (if possible) becomes available.

For more information, see FTP Host - Additional Properties: Resume partial transfers (if possible)

File Attributes tab

  • Override Default File Attributes

Applies the specified UNIX-style file attributes to a file after a successful upload. This setting applies only to hosts that are based on UNIX-like file systems.

  • Set file permisisons after upload

Available if Override Default File Attributes is selected. Choose permissions for User, Group, and Owner.
