"Client" access to MOVEit is available through several interfaces, including HTTPS, FTP over SSL, and FTP over SSH.
The built-in web interface provides access to anyone with a desktop web browser (see the complete list of supported browsers). Authorized administrators may configure the MOVEit server from authorized locations while customers and partners use a simpler portal to move files in and out of the MOVEit system.
Also available through the web interface is the optional MOVEit Upload/Download Wizard. It provides for faster and more reliable file transfers using the web than are normally available through "stock HTTP". The MOVEit Wizard is also the only browser-based client that supports file integrity checking.
MOVEit offers the separately licensed mobile capability, which enables mobile apps (for iOS and Android) for registered users, plus a mobile web browser (providing Ad Hoc Transfer only, it is for temporary and guest users).
There is also a Microsoft Outlook plug-in (free with an Ad Hoc Transfer license), which registered users can use for sending packages with MOVEit Ad Hoc Transfer.
A secure FTP interface is also available on the MOVEit server for people or programs with secure FTP clients. The MOVEit family offers two free, scriptable command-line clients, MOVEit Freely (FTP) and MOVEit Xfer (HTTPS) both of which support file integrity checking. Ipswitch also offers WS_FTP Professional, a Windows file transfer client with a robust feature set, which also supports file integrity checking. Many third-party companies manufacture secure FTP clients for desktops and servers which will also interface with MOVEit's secure FTP over SSL and FTP over SSH servers.
For IT departments who desire more control over the MOVEit environment than the FTP protocol can provide, the MOVEit API products provide easy access to and control of MOVEit via a COM object (for Windows) or Java classes (for *nix, Windows, IBM, etc.). MOVEit API also supports file transfers with full integrity checking and ships with several command-line utilities for administrators who would rather script than program.
If desktop-to-server automation or the ability to access MOVEit as a local folder is desired, consider using MOVEit EZ. MOVEit EZ is a "tray icon application" which synchronizes content between a user's desktop and MOVEit and schedules transfers.
When coupled with MOVEit Central and the appropriate licensing, MOVEit supports AS2 and AS3 file transfer. (MOVEit can be used as a standalone AS3 server, but without MOVEit Central it has no way of encrypting or decrypting specific messages.)
More information about these clients and the dozens of third-party clients which can also be used to securely exchange files with MOVEit can be found in Client Support.
