"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 web browser (see the Release Notes for a list of supported browsers). Authorized administrators can configure the MOVEit server from authorized locations while customers and partners use a 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 HTTP. The MOVEit Wizard supports file integrity checking.
MOVEit includes the separately licensed mobile capability, which enables mobile apps for iOS and Android for registered users, and a mobile web browser that provides Ad Hoc Transfer only for temporary and guest users).
Also available is a Microsoft Outlook plug-in (free with an Ad Hoc Transfer license) that 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, script-ready 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 that also interface with the MOVEit secure FTP over SSL and FTP over SSH servers.
For IT departments that want more control over the MOVEit environment than the FTP protocol can provide, the MOVEit API provides access to and control of MOVEit via a COM object (for Windows) or Java classes (for UNIX, Linux, Windows, IBM, etc.). MOVEit API also supports file transfers with full integrity checking and ships with several command-line utilities.
MOVEit EZ provides desktop-to-server automation and the ability to access MOVEit as a local folder. MOVEit EZ is a tray icon application that synchronizes content between a user's desktop and MOVEit, and schedules transfers. It is useful for environments that want desktop-to-server automation or the ability to access MOVEit as a local folder
MOVEit supports AS2 and AS3 file transfer when used with MOVEit Automation and the appropriate licensing. (MOVEit can be used as a standalone AS3 server, but without MOVEit Automation it has no way of encrypting or decrypting specific messages.)
