The following MOVEit Gateway settings are available:
- Gateway's Host Name or IP Address: The name of the computer running Gateway as specified during installation. You can edit the name if required. Doing so will restart all running HTTP proxies. This setting is used to create HTTP redirects and is currently used only for client certificate authentication. The user's browser can use this hostname to access the Gateway system.

MOVEit Gateway cannot use the same FTP data ports as MOVEit Transfer. The number of
