MOVEit Transfer Host Field	Description

General
Friendly Name	A name for the host. The name you specify appears in the MOVEit Automation user interface.
Description	Description of the host. Optional. This field is informational only, and does not affect the operation of the host.
Hostname/IP Address	The full hostname (example: MOVEitstdnet.com) or IP address (example: 192.168.12.14) of the remote server.
Port	Port number of the remote server on which to connect.
Username / Password	Authentication credentials. Values that you enter are stored encrypted on a disk. Both username and password can contain macro references.
IIS Virtual Directory	Defines any alternate locations where MOVEit Transfer is installed. For example, an installation can host another secure web site on the same machine. Use this field to define any alternate locations used. Example: `/mysubdir/`. If you are unsure, set this field to a single slash: `/`.
Sort Files by	Specifies how to sort file listings when they are retrieved form a MOVEit Transfer server. Files are downloaded in the order they are listed, so your selections define which files are download first.
Use File Notifications	If selected: Tasks that access this host are run when files arrive, rather than periodically as defined by the scheduler. Recommended: Select this checkbox. For more information, see File Notifications.
Secure Connection with SSL	If selected: Enables secure communication between MOVEit Automation and the remote host. Secure MOVEit Transfer connections are typically initiated on port 443, rather than on insecure port 80.
Ignore SSL Certificate errors	Available only if Secure Connection is set. Ignores SSL certificate problems. Problems include: expired certificate, wrong hostname, certificate issued by an untrusted authority. This option is used primarily during testing, when you are using a temporary test certificate. If you do not select this checkbox, and MOVEit Automation detects a questionable certificate, MOVEit Automation will not connect to the host, and an error is logged.
Client Certificate	The SSL client certificate to use when establishing connections. Click Set Cert and choose a certificate.
Test	Click to test your connection. For more information, see Tests Performed on Hosts.
