Description

Folder(s)

Folder name or path to save files on the remote host. Macros are allowed in this field.

For local filesystem hosts: Do not use full UNC paths.

To use a remote filesystem by UNC or mounted drive letter, first add the host as a Share. If you use a UNC, MOVEit Automation attempts to find a matching Share host and prompts you to use it.

Use relative subdirectories

If one or more source elements have the Include Subdirectories option selected, files found in subdirectories of the source folder are uploaded to the same subdirectory they were found in on the destination host.

Create directories if necessary

Selected: If the directory named in the path does not exist, MOVEit Automation creates the directory (or the relative subdirectory if Use relative subdirectories is checked).

Not selected: If the server directory does not exist, the transfer fails.

Use original filenames

The name under which the file was saved on the source.

If not checked, uses the name you define. The name can contain macros.

If a file of the same name already exists:

  • Do not overwrite
  • Overwrite (default)
  • Append to

Compress each file (zip format)

Compresses each file individually. Uses the original filename appended with .zip. For example, MyFile.txt is compressed to a file named MyFile.zip.

To zip multiple files together, use the built-in script Zip Advanced.
