Install the Upload/Download Wizard

Depending on how your system is configured, the first time you sign on to MOVEit you may see the Upload/Download Wizard page. The Upload/Download Wizard is a useful browser add-on tool that helps you transfer files faster and more efficiently. It is recommended that you install the Wizard. The benefits include:

• No maximum size (files larger than 2 gigabytes are allowed)
• Faster uploads due to compression on the fly (ActiveX only)
• Cryptographic quality (FIPS 140-2 SHA-1) integrity check
• Transfer resume avoids resending lost pieces of large files
• Option to zip multiple files into a single file before transferring
• Option to send multiple files in single transfer session

If you do not see the Upload/Download Wizard page or do not wish to install it at this time, proceed to Tour the Interface.

You may still be able to install the Wizard by going to My Account > Edit Your Upload/Download Wizard Settings. See the sections that follow for browser-specific Wizard instructions.

Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer users will see the ActiveX Wizard Installation page, which gives options to install the ActiveX Wizard (if it's not installed yet), enable the Wizard, enable the Wizard for this session only, or disable it the Wizard.

If you choose Install the Upload/Download Wizard (ActiveX), you will be sent to a page which will attempt to download the ActiveX control. This may take several seconds. You may need to alter your browser's security settings to permit signed ActiveX controls to be installed in order to successfully complete the process.

If you choose Disable the Wizard, you will not be prompted to install the ActiveX Wizard again unless you explicitly request it via the Account Options page. If you choose Disable the Wizard (for this session only), during the next browser session, you will be shown a link to install the Wizard.

If you are running Internet Explorer, you may have to perform an extra step before you can use all the features of the Wizard, such as the ability to download multiple files at once. This extra step is to add any MOVEit site you communicate with into your Internet Explorer list of "Trusted Sites".

To change your security settings in this way, from the Tools menu select Internet Options and then select the Security tab.

Click the Trusted Sites icon (the green check mark) and then click the Sites button. A list of existing trusted sites will appear and your MOVEit site should be listed in the Add this website to the zone text box. Click Add to finish trusting your MOVEit site, and then click Close.

Other Browsers

The first time a user signs on to MOVEit with a browser other than Internet Explorer (e.g., Firefox), MOVEit will display a slightly different page with a link to install the Java Upload/Download Wizard. The Java Upload/Download Wizard is a component very similar to the ActiveX Wizard, designed for environments that can't run ActiveX controls.

The choices are similar to those for the ActiveX Wizard. If Java is not installed, the user can simply choose Disable to avoid being prompted to install the Java Wizard in subsequent sessions.

Java can be downloaded from Sun's Java website.
