Add a Task Destination

A destination defines a single location to which files are sent when a task runs. A task can have any number of destinations, or no destinations. If a task has no destinations, it must have at least one process to be eligible to run. For more information, see Process.

Prerequisite: Before you add a destination to a task, you must have already added the host that the destination references. For example, to add a destination that is a folder on a MOVEit Transfer server, you must have previously added a MOVEit Transfer host for that server. For more information, see Add a Host.

To add a destination:

1. Select TASKS. Add a new traditional or advanced task, or click an existing one. The task properties page opens.
2. Click Step > Destination. If this is an advanced task, specify the location for the destination step.
3. In the Add Destination dialog box, select how you want to load the destination file, and select a host, Click Next.
4. Click the tabs and make selections to specify the behavior of the destination files.
