This technical document describes the file structure, registry entries and other details of the MOVEit Transfer system. Generally this information is only important for administrators (i.e., SysAdmins) who set up and troubleshoot MOVEit Transfer systems.

Note: Location names like [Web Files] are used only as a notation in this document; they do not refer to literal directory names or registry key names on a MOVEit system.

File System

[Non-Web Files]

By default, the [Non-Web Files] directory is D:\MOVEitDMZ. This value is configurable during installation and may be changed by advanced administrators using the MOVEit Transfer Config program.

[Web Files]

The [Web Files] directory is configurable during installation and may be changed by advanced administrators using the MOVEit Transfer Config program.

[ISAPI Files]

[Database Files] (only if MySQL is the database engine)

If you are using MySQL as your database engine, the [Database Files] directory is configurable during installation and may be changed by advanced administrators using the MOVEit Transfer Config program. If the location of the MySQL data files is changed, this change must also be reflected in the MY.INI file. By default, it is D:\MySQL.
