The FOLDERS page enables you to select and view any folders that you have access to. Permissions assigned by your administrator determine actions you can apply to this view and its contents.
Choose. Select a folder to browse and manage.
Use the Go To Folder drop-down list to go to your favorite MOVEit Transfer folders. (Your home or default folder is the default.)
Note: If you have access to a large number of folders, the Go To Folder drop-down selector does not appear. Instead, you can type in the first few letters of the folder you are looking for into the Find File/Folder box.
View. View folder details, history, and contents.
Note: If content scanning is enabled, files that pass the content scan (Anti-Virus and/or Data Loss Prevention scans) are marked with this icon . Files that fail the scan are marked with a warning icon .
Note: Even though someone else has downloaded a certain file, it may still be "new" to you. This statistic is often used to quickly see what the most popular downloads in a given folder are.
Manage. Add new folders, edit, copy, move, and delete.
Folder types:
Folder actions:
Download. Download selected files.
If you can't find a file, search for it in the Find File/Folder box (in the left navigation area). Enter either the NAME of the file (for example, "readme.txt") or the MOVEit Transfer FILEID (a unique identifier for the file, for example, 1234567) and click the magnifying glass to search.

The built-in download capability (sometimes referred to in this document as 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.
Important! The ActiveX Wizard works with Internet Explorer, only. It is provided for purposes of backward compatibility with legacy MOVEit Transfer sites. It is best practice to use the built-in upload/download manager ("Javascript Wizard") instead.
Click Open or Save.
The file is downloaded. The wizard performs an integrity check.
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.
Upload. Upload files and folders.
|
Uploading a file to a folder can trigger notification events to you, a group, or other users associated with the folder. The following table lists some of these notification events.
Notification Type |
Description |
Upload Confirmation |
You might get an email message called an upload confirmation when you upload your file. This option is turned off by default. |
New File Notification |
Other users might get an email message called a new file notification when you upload your file. This option is turned on by default. However, you will NOT get a new file notification if you upload a file into your OWN home folder. |
Delivery Receipt |
When someone downloads your file from MOVEit, you might receive a delivery receipt message. This option is turned off by default. |
File Not Downloaded Warning |
If your file has not been downloaded within a set amount of time, you might receive a "not downloaded yet" message to warn you that the person or process you expected to pick up your file has not yet picked it up. This option is turned off by default. It is useful for cases where a package or file download has an expiration date associated with it. |
Delivery Notification |
If Ad Hoc Transfer is enabled, you might receive an email message called a delivery notification when a message recipient reads a package or downloads a file from the package. |
If your administrator has enabled content scanning, and a virus or data policy violation is detected in a file you selected for upload, the browser displays an error and either blocks or quarantines the file. Filenames and entries in the Notes field are also scanned for data policy violations. If the content scan results in a file being quarantined, it will be uploaded, but the file will not be available for download. If the content scan results in a file being blocked, you receive the message Blocked for DLP Violation.
Send. Send selected files in a new package.
Sending a package is like sending an email with attachments. The Package Actions section might appear on the Home page and/or the Packages page:
Depending on how your organization is configured, and the permissions assigned to you, you might not have all of these options available. |

If you sent a package to an unregistered recipient (that is, recipients that are not MOVEit users) you might be prompted to provide a password. The Provide Password page opens.
If you select this option, send the suggested password to the recipient.
If you select this option, follow the requirements and type a custom password two times. Send this password to the recipient.
Important: You must provide the password to the unregistered recipients, by sending it as a separate email, phone call, FAX, etc.in accordance with your organization's security policy.
When the Send button is clicked, MOVEit attempts to reconcile the email address(es) into an existing user, using the following rules:
Share. Provide folder access to regular users, temp users, and groups.
Share folders in just a few steps:
Open a folder. From MOVEit Transfer, open a folder. |
|
Edit parent or subfolder settings. Edit sharing settings (View/Apply Share Settings, Folder Sharing Walkthrough) for any of the following:
|
|
Break chained permissions model (if necessary). To share a folder that uses its parent folder share settings (default), you must opt to make those folder share and access settings Custom. For example: |
|
Add users and groups. Edit/control the access list.
|
Find. Find files or folders.
The Find File/Folder box (typically located in the left Navigation pane) lets you search the MOVEit system for files and folders using an ID (for example, 1234567) or a name (myfile.txt).
Name wildcards (*
) are allowed. For example, you can search for *.pdf
, myfile*
or Home/John Smith/*
.
If you searched for a file, the resulting file list has the following columns:
If you searched for a folder, the resulting folder list has only one column, containing the full path of the folders matching the search string. To view the folder, click the folder path.
In the following situations, wildcard characters are automatically added to a search term:
/
) does not return any results, and the same search term with an asterisk appended also does not return any results, an asterisk is prepended to the search term if one does not already exist, and the search is retried. This allows users to search for partial folder paths.Note: For WebPost and Archived Logs folders, selected files are downloaded as a single bundle file using the As Format option to determine the format of the resulting file. This download process does not use the MOVEit Download Wizard.
Apply a sorting modifier to select All files, only New files, only Old files, or None to deselect all files. Similarly, you can select All folders, only Empty folders, only Not Empty folders, or None to deselect all folders.
