Download Files

• Ways to find and download a file:
  • FOLDERS page. Select a folder containing the file and click download.
  • Search. Search for the file name or file ID.
  • New file notification. Click (or copy into your browser) the link sent in the email. This link takes you directly to the file referenced in the email. (After you sign on, if necessary.)
  • Shared folder notification. If another user chooses to share a folder with you, you can access and browse the contents of the folder through the link in the shared folder notification email (which will bring you to the FOLDERS page).

Browse and download files from user-shared folders starting from the notification email

Note: See Configure the Upload/Download Wizard to determine which wizard is enabled on your system (if any), and how to install, enable, or disable the wizard.

When you download to a non-Windows device/host, your file(s) initially have execute permissions. This download feature accommodates the way file permissions vary for Linux/Unix/MacOS, which include a formal execute file attribute.

• Using download wizards:

If the MOVEit Upload/Download Wizard is not installed, your browser downloads the selected file per usual browser conventions.

If the MOVEit Upload/Download Wizard is enabled, the steps you take to download the file depend on the type of wizard enabled:

JavaScript Wizard

The JavaScript Wizard does not check download integrity automatically. When you download a file, a Downloads window opens. After the file finishes downloading, optionally click Check. Locate and select the downloaded file. A green checkmark indicates that the integrity check succeeded. A red X indicates a failed integrity check.

You can also perform integrity checks on Recent Downloads from your Home page, if enabled.
