MOVEit Automation supports uploading to and downloading from webservers using the HTTP and HTTPS protocol. This is in addition to the support for MOVEit Transfer hosts, which also use the HTTP and HTTPS protocols, but require a specific upload/download format.

Support for this capability comes in the form of built-in scripts:

  • HTTP Get - downloads a file from a webserver using the HTTP GET verb.
  • HTTP Post - uploads a file to a webserver using the HTTP POST verb.
  • HTTP Put - uploads a file to a webserver using the HTTP PUT verb. This mechanism is not available on many websites, but it is preferable to POST because it is easier to configure.
  • HTTP SharePoint Get - downloads a file from a Microsoft SharePoint Server webserver.
  • HTTP SharePoint Put - Uploads a file to a Microsoft SharePoint Server webserver.

When configuring a task to access a webserver, use one of the above scripts as a Process step instead of adding a Source or Destination.

Not all webservers can be successfully accessed via these scripts. Some websites require complex, human-oriented navigation which is beyond the scope of these scripts.
