Why teams switch from FTP

Everything FTP should have been — for the cloud era.

Files.com replaces the appliance, the patching cycle, the SSO glue, the backup job, and the audit reports with one cloud platform. One bill. One team to call.

From legacy MFT to file orchestration

ExaVault Cloud is now the File Orchestration Platform from Files.com.

ExaVault launched in 2009 as one of the first hosted-FTP platforms. After the Files.com acquisition, ExaVault Cloud was sunset and its mission carried forward by Files.com — a modern, cloud-native File Orchestration Platform with the automation engine, security posture, and protocol surface enterprise IT actually asks for today.

If you remember ExaVault as the cloud product, Files.com is what came next. The on-premise appliance is still maintained by Files.com for self-hosted shops — but most of you came here looking for the cloud. That’s what this site is now about.

It has eliminated an old FTP server that we were keeping around for a specific customer, helping us consolidate systems. The ability to get this running took me less than a week to transition an SFTP server from our on-prem, and the cutover was seamless.

For almost everyone: Files.com Cloud. It’s the modern File Orchestration Platform — automation workflows, REST API + SDKs in 8 languages, partner integrations (AS2, EDI), PGP/GPG encryption, SOC 2 + HIPAA-BAA out of the box, and a free trial that provisions in about 10 minutes with no credit card.

The free ExaVault on-premise appliance is right if you must run file transfer inside your own infrastructure — air-gapped, classified, compliance-mandated, data-residency- constrained.
