Local Control That Keeps You in Charge

ExaVault’s appliance-based solution installs directly on your hardware, giving you a fully hosted FTP/SFTP environment managed at the system level. Instead of navigating through a browser or mobile app, your team accesses the server using standard FTP, SFTP, or FTP-SSL clients—keeping your operations tightly controlled and entirely on-premise.

No browser tabs. No cloud sync delays. Just fast, reliable file transfers handled directly by your network.

Custom Branding, Locally Delivered

Looking to make your file transfer environment an extension of your brand? ExaVault supports custom branding, even with an appliance-based deployment. Your internal teams, partners, and vendors can connect to a file server that reflects your company’s identity—from domain name to folder structure—while keeping the technology behind the scenes.

That means no ExaVault branding, just your business front and center.

User Permissions: Control Who Gets Access to What

As the boss, you decide who gets access and how. ExaVault’s local permissions model lets you define user roles and control access at the file or folder level. Grant upload rights to vendors, download access to team leads, and time-box file availability when needed. It’s a flexible system that supports how you run your business.

You can also enforce strong password policies, manage login credentials, and set IP restrictions to ensure only the right people get in—no matter where your server lives.

Stay in the Loop with System-Level Logging

No surprises here. ExaVault provides full system-level logging so you can track every file transfer, login, or access attempt. Whether you’re preparing for an audit or just monitoring activity, you’ll have everything you need to stay on top of file movement across your appliance.

Set up email notifications and get alerted when key events happen—like files being added, renamed, or deleted. You stay informed without needing to be in front of a dashboard.

Security That Satisfies the Top Brass

Security isn’t just for IT—it’s part of running a smart business. ExaVault lets you:

  • Enforce SFTP, FTP-SSL, or HTTPS for encrypted transfers
  • Restrict login access by IP range
  • Require complex passwords from every user
  • Maintain full data ownership on your own hardware

It’s the kind of setup that keeps executives, IT teams, and compliance officers aligned—and keeps your data where it belongs.

Take Command with ExaVault

If you want to manage your own file transfer environment with no web interface, full branding control, and enterprise-grade security, ExaVault’s appliance-based model is the solution made for you. It’s FTP—evolved to fit your business, your infrastructure, and your leadership style.
