The MOVEit Connector also displays status information about your connection to the MOVEit server. Descriptive error notifications tell you when the MOVEit Connector cannot connect to the server. You can also hover the mouse cursor over the tray icon to view the current status of the connection to the MOVEit server.

Right-click the MOVEit Connector icon in the system tray to access the MOVEit Connector menu. The menu options are:
