    The Basic Settings page opens.
  4. Click Storage providers.
  5. To create a new storage provider, click Add storage provider.
    The Add a provider dialog box opens.
  6. In Provider name field, enter a name for the new provider. For example, enter MOVEit.
  7. In Provider type dropdown box, select MOVEit.
  8. Click Continue.
    A dialog box with the required settings opens.

Edit the settings of MOVEit storage provider

If you need to edit the existing settings for MOVEit provider, perform the following:

  1. In Sitefinity CMS backend, navigate to Administration » Settings » Advanced.
  2. In the navigation pane on the left, expand Libraries » Blob storage » Blob storage providers » MOVEit.
  3. Expand Parameters and select any of the parameters that needs editing.
  4. Optionally, you can update the settings for the MOVEit blob storage type. Navigate to Libraries » Blob storage » Blob storage type » MOVEit and apply your changes.
  5. Click Save changes.

Configure forms to store files in MOVEit

After you have configured MOVEit storage provider, you need to configure forms to have the associated library items transferred in MOVEit.
File uploads are stored in a dedicated library (per form) on the User files page. You can change the library blob storage at any time, which in turn triggers a task for moving the files to the new storage.
To configure a form to transfer and store file uploads directly in MOVEit, perform the following:

  1. In Sitefinity CMS backend, navigate to Administration » User files » System.
  2. Locate the library of the form, expand its Actions menu, and click Move to another storage.
  3. In Select a storage where this library is to be moved dropdown box, select MOVEit.
  4. Click Move library

Customize the file path

In case you want to have control over the folder structure of the uploaded files in MOVEit, you can customize the file path - through extending FormResponseFilePathStrategy. For more information, see Extend FormResponseFilePathStrategy for MOVEit.

Limitations

The MOVEit storage provider is designed to handle uploading a file and generating a link to that file in MOVEit and is limited to the integration scenario described above. Note that it is not designed to handle file download.
