MOVEit Central v.5.0 - Released October 2007

Originally introduced in 2001, MOVEit Central is a powerful enterprise software solution for managed file transfer (MFT). MOVEit Central is a workflow engine that is used to automate the pulling, processing and pushing of files on a scheduled, event-driven or on-demand basis between a wide variety of internal and external systems, including MOVEit DMZ servers.

MOVEit Central does this using easy-to-create tasks that IT staff can quickly click together (no scripting or other programming required). Multiple tasks can be run at the same time, and each can handle multiple files, sources and destinations, and secure and non-secure transfer methods. Tasks can automatically process files using built-in MOVEit Central functions as well as with custom VBS scripts.

Here are a few of the 50 enhancements in Central v.5.0.

• Expanded Task Access Control Permissions
  Enhancements have been made to the MOVEit Central permissions structure, greatly expanding the ability to compartmentalize the viewing and control of hosts, host access credentials, tasks, scripts, etc.
• Download Limits on Size and Number of Files
  New options in MOVEit Central now make it possible to limit the number of files and/or the total size of files downloaded during any particular task run.
• Creating/Cloning Temporary Tasks Via the API
  The MOVEit Central API has been enhanced to allow third-party applications to create and run temporary tasks (usually based on templates), and to input source, destination, paths and file names dynamically.
• Expanded HTTP/HTTPS File Transfer Support
  Central can now use HTTPS and the non-secure HTTP protocol to Post or Put (upload) files to and Get (download) files from all Web servers that support these protocols (includes SharePoint Get and Put).
• Improved Task Import Process
  The MOVEit Central Admin task import process features improved change control capabilities.
• New PGP Encrypt/Sign Compatibility Options
  New options force the use of SHA256 or SHA512 hash algorithms (as opposed to SHA1) and the use of older version 3 signatures, providing improved compatibility with McAfee eBusiness Server.
• Faster Windows File System Copies
  Central v.5.0 copies files approximately twice as fast as previous versions when working with Windows File System and Shares sources and destinations.
• Full Support of ISO-Latin-1 Character Set
  MOVEit Central, Central Admin, and the Central API clients now support the entire ISO/IEC 8859-1 character set for file and folder names, file masks, audit records, and other displays.
