Server Requirements
Learn about requirements for connecting Movebot to file servers.
The Windows Server Agent is a small binary that moves data from a local server to the Movebot cloud and onto the destination cloud storage provider.

Migrating Data from Unsupported Servers
If you’re working with an unsupported server OS, you can still migrate your data using this workaround:
Install the Windows Server Agent on a supported Windows machine.
Create a mapped network drive to the location of the unsupported server.
Configure the agent to access data via the mapped drive path.
This approach allows you to migrate data across your network without needing to install the agent directly on the unsupported system.

Software Requirements
You will need Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 to open the agent.
Network Requirements
Migrations are upload-intensive by nature and so the speed of your migration will be heavily dependant on your internal and external network capacity. We recommend 1Gbps uplink speed where possible.
If you are experiencing performance issues with the agent, we recommend running a speed test and checking your project settings to ensure you've selected migration region that is close to the agent.
Firewall Requirements
The Movebot agent communicates with the Movebot control plane and APIs exclusively via HTTPS. This means that no additional ports are needed to be opened. However, if your organization has a proxy server or web filter, you may need to allow the following domains out.
agentctlapi.couchdrop.io
fileio.couchdrop.io
api.couchdrop.io
*.movebot.io
