Hosts

MOVEit Automation can synchronize files and folders on Windows servers/shares, FTP servers, FTPS servers, SFTP servers and MOVEit Transfer servers. Each "Folder A" and "Folder B" definition is tied to one of these types of MOVEit Automation Hosts. Related Host definitions can and often are shared among traditional and synchronization tasks.

There are no special Host-level configuration options that are unique to synchronization tasks. See the "Configuring Tasks - Hosts" section of this documentation for more information about Hosts.

File Notifications

Both Windows servers/shares and MOVEit Transfer Hosts can use the "File Notification" option to feed file and folder add, delete and rename events to interested synchronization tasks. Note that interested synchronization tasks still require a schedule that permits them to run when receiving events. (Traditional tasks work the same way, but do not receive folder events or file delete events.)

MOVEit Transfer Host Considerations

Delete and Rename Notifications (Requires v4.5+)

To receive file/folder delete and rename notifications from MOVEit Transfer hosts, those MOVEit Transfer hosts must be running MOVEit DMZ version 4.5 or greater. Otherwise, new file notifications will be seen by MOVEit Automation, but file/folder delete and rename operations will not be noticed until the next time a sync task runs (either on a scheduled interval or as a result of a related file notification).
