Our MOVEit Transfer server is not making use of Microsoft Azure, but if your server is in Azure already, this version will allow you to store your files directly in Azure Blob storage. According to the installation guide however, Ipswitch have taken steps to reduce the time required in all cases. The upgrade from Transfer 2018 SP2 to Transfer 2019 was extremely short, although clearly this would be longer when updating a system with more data in it.

Here at Pro2col we have just upgraded our MOVEit systems from 2018 SP2 to 2019. There are also numerous bug fixes and RSA DLP has been removed due to end of life. Filter users that have accessed or not accessed folders.Return Folder List Permissions for a User.Other API enhancements now include the ability to: (The ActiveX version can be enabled by the Sysadmin though, if it’s required for compatibility).Īnd lastly, the upload wizard now has an expandable notes box, making it easier to use if you are entering lots of text. It is now built on Javascript with the old ActiveX wizard being deprecated. This allows stopped uploads to be retried, resuming from where they had previously stopped. The upload wizard now utilises the resumable file upload API. This is particularly useful for the new upload wizard which now supports large file uploads.

The improvements to MOVEit Transfer come off the back of the expanded REST API functionality, namely the chunked file upload. This API enhancement allows large files to be uploaded without being limited by a web server’s restrictions on content size. This is a feature that should prove useful when you have FTP hosts that format their directory listings a little differently: I can understand that it means I don’t need to reduce my security standards across the board if I have one trading partner with really old ciphers, but I worry that this would make it challenging to keep track of how secure Automation is without reviewing every SFTP host (and there could be a lot of them). You can now select which SSH encryption algorithms to use in individual hosts. As with all new connectors, you need to be using the webadmin console in order to use the Azure connector but to be honest, the old VBAdmin console is becoming increasingly less relevant as time progresses. I don’t understand why this connector wasn’t included in the 2018 SP2 release, but better late than never. This release seems more of an opportunity to implement some changes that should have come along in the last couple of years.įirst, there is now an Azure blob storage connector, which means no more scripting a connector.
