Advanced Synchronization Architecture

Synchronizing Content To or Between Multiple Folders

MOVEit Automation 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 Automation 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 Automation software can be installed at each remote site and a single MOVEit Transfer server can be used as a common, secure, and shared repository.

MOVEit Transfer 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 Automation Configuration

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

Remote Site MOVEit Automation 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 Transfer folder or a shared MOVEit Transfer folder. (Every related task will have a MOVEit Transfer folder as "Folder A", regardless of synchronization direction or other options.)
