Filesystem

Filesystem indicates if the current file store is Windows/UNC or another such as a scalable cloud-based service like Windows Azure Blobs.

Filesystem Type

This section indicates the filesystem you chose at install. (It is also possible to migrate from a Windows local or UNC share to Azure Blobs). This section is read-only.

Azure Blob Storage Settings (available if Azure Blob Storage is used)

  • Storage Account. This is the storage account name configured in the Microsoft Azure Management Portal.

    Example: https://example.blob.core.windows.net/midmz2019

    —where example is the Storage Account name.

    —and where midmz2019 is the Container name.

  • Key. API key used to build connection string when authenticating to the Storage Service without a pre-defined SAS URL. It must match either the primary or secondary key used in the service (this is typically copied from the Azure Management Service--you can see and regenerate it from the Azure Management Portal.)
    Note: Regenerating a primary or secondary key at the Azure Portal or equivalent effectively revokes it. To ensure availability of the Blob file store, take care to maintain a valid key (either primary or secondary) as part of your connection information in the MOVEit Transfer Config.
  • Container. Storage container (effectively the top-level folder) where your MOVEit Transfer file store is.
