Sync Folders - SFTP Source Override

The sync folder's Host Override settings override the corresponding settings that are configured in the host. Your selections affect the sync folder as it is defined in the context of the task.

Settings in this topic pertain to sync folders that use SFTP hosts. For information about source overrides for other host types, see Sync folders - Host Override settings.

SFTP - Host Override	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 Blind Download	Maximum number of files that are downloaded from a source in a single task run against this host. If the limit is exceeded, and the Advanced task setting Automatically re-run task if source download limits are encountered is set, the task is automatically rerun.
