Advanced Synchronization Architecture

Synchronizing Content To or Between Multiple Folders

MOVEit Central can synchronize content to or between more than two folders. To achieve this, choose one older to serve as a master folder and then set up one task for each remote folder with which you want to synchronize the master folder. (Every related task has the master folder as "Folder A", regardless of synchronization direction or other options.)

Synchronizing Content To or Between Multiple Remote Sites

MOVEit Central can synchronize content to or between multiple remote sites across the Internet, even if the remote sites have no secure server of their own. To achieve this, MOVEit Central software can be installed at each remote site and a single MOVEit DMZ server can be used as a common, secure, and shared repository.

MOVEit DMZ Configuration

If each remote site contains unique content, set up a different folder for each remote site. Otherwise, set up a single folder containing shared content for all remote sites. Set up all folders to ALLOW overwrites and grant any related user-folder permissions Read, List, Write, Delete and Subs access.

Each remote site needs its own end user account or FileAdmin account. The main data center also requires a FileAdmin account.

Main Data Center MOVEit Central Configuration

If each remote site contains unique content, then set up a different sync task for each remote site's folder on MOVEit DMZ. Otherwise, set up a single sync task to move shared content for all remote sites. (Every related task will have a MOVEit DMZ folder as "Folder B", regardless of synchronization direction or other options.)

Remote Site MOVEit Central Configuration

Regardless of whether each remote site has its own unique content, each remote site only needs a single sync task to sync from either the remote site's unique content MOVEit DMZ folder or a shared MOVEit DMZ folder. (Every related task will have a MOVEit DMZ folder as "Folder A", regardless of synchronization direction or other options.)
