Authentication tab

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

When blind downloads are enabled, MOVEit Automation does not use any directory listing commands. The blind download option is rarely used, and is intended primarily to accommodate unusual FTP servers.

• Override Default Resume

Download Limits tab

• Override default file count download limit

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.

• Override default file size download limit

Maximum number of bytes that are downloaded from a source in a single task run against this host. Value of 0 means no limit.

Downloading stops after the first file that causes the number of downloaded bytes to exceed the limit.

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.
