Download Files

• Ways to find and download a file:
  • FOLDERS page. Select a folder containing the file and click download.
  • New file notification. Click (or copy into your web browser) the link sent in the email. This link takes you directly to the file referenced in the email. (After you sign on, if necessary.)
  • Shared folder notification. If another user chooses to share a folder with you, you can access and browse the contents of the folder through the link in the shared folder notification email (which will bring you to the FOLDERS page).
  • Search. Search for the file name or file ID for any files you have access to, then download.

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.

Browse and download files from user-shared folders starting from the notification email

Optional Integrity Check

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.

Optional integrity check (bulk download shown)

You can also perform integrity checks on Recent Downloads from your Home page, if enabled.

ActiveX Wizard (when made available by your administrator)

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.

1. The File Download window opens. Make a selection.
   • Open downloads the file to a temporary directory, and runs the associated application based on the file extension.
   • Save prompts you for a download directory.
   • Automatically open/save files like this from now on checkbox. Suppresses the appearance of this dialog box for future downloads of files that have the same file extension as the one you are currently downloading
   • Configure. Click to specify how to handle file downloads

   Click Open or Save.

2. Select a download destination, optionally change the file name, and click Save.

   The file is downloaded. The wizard performs an integrity check.

3. Make a selection: Open the file, Open Folder, Close the wizard, or Unzip (for ZIP files only).

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.
