JavaScript Wizard

MOVEit Transfer includes in-app controls for uploading (drag'n drop or browse and select) files to folders and packages often referred to as the JavaScript Wizard. This feature is available from all web browsers (including Microsoft Edge) and requires no installation. It is strongly recommended that you use the JavaScript Wizard if you use a non-Internet Explorer browser. The JavaScript Wizard eliminates the elaborate browser configuration required by the Java Wizard.

You perform download integrity checks at time of download, or later by way of the Recent Downloads page.

TIP Unlike the ActiveX wizard which can perform download integrity checks automatically, you will need to perform an additional step (comparing the historic and actual file signatures) if you use the JavaScript wizard.

You do not need to enable the JavaScript Wizard for fresh installations of MOVEit Transfer when using non-Internet Explorer browsers. If upgrading from versions previous to version 8.3, the JavaScript Wizard must be enabled if you want to use it.

Enable the JavaScript Wizard

To enable the JavaScript Wizard, click My Account in the top banner. In the Edit Your Upload/Download Wizard Settings section, click Change Upload Wizard Status (JavaScript), and then click Enable the Wizard. Guest users can click Change Upload Wizard Status (JavaScript) directly from a package page.

The ActiveX and Java Wizard (deprecated), if enabled, are used in preference to the JavaScript Wizard.

Internet Explorer Users: If using Internet Explorer 10, you must disable the JavaScript Wizard. Internet Explorer users who want to use the JavaScript Wizard must first disable the ActiveX Wizard and then enable the JavaScript Wizard.
