You might need to do any of the following:
- Change your browser's security settings to permit signed ActiveX controls to be installed in order to complete the process and use all the features of the Wizard, such as the ability to download multiple files at once.
- Add any MOVEit site you communicate with into your Internet Explorer list of Trusted Sites.
To change your security settings in this way:
1. From the Internet Explorer Tools menu select Internet Options and then select the Security tab.
2. Click the Trusted Sites icon (the green check mark) and then click the Sites button. A list of existing trusted sites appears. Your MOVEit site is listed in the Add this website to the zone text box. Click Add and then click Close.
Internet Explorer MUST be configured to accept SIGNED ActiveX controls and run JavaScript, and the end user must manually click Yes to download/accept/install the Upload/Download Wizard ActiveX control.

Wizard Preference (IE and Edge Users)

When enabled, MOVEit Transfer uses the ActiveX in preference to the JavaScript wizard. The ActiveX must be disabled before you can enable the JavaScript Wizard.

After the wizard is enabled, it is available on all pages where uploads are permitted, such as the Folders page and Send Package page.

Uploading Files if No Wizard is Enabled
