Business Best Practice: Branded FTP Site

An FTP site can make a huge difference when you count on being able to transfer large files on a regular basis. Businesses benefit from a branded FTP site for all their online file storage and transfer needs.

What is an FTP Site?

At ExaVault, we say an FTP site is a fully integrated FTP solution with an intuitive appliance admin panel and tools. It is the best of both traditional FTP for secure file storage, sending large files, and fast file transfers, plus the ability to access your files from any device with an internet connection.

FTP via Local Appliance

A good file transfer solution doesn’t always need a web interface—especially if your business prefers to keep things local. With ExaVault’s appliance-based model, file transfers run directly on your own hardware, offering tight control over where and how data moves. There’s no browser-based interface—instead, everything is managed locally on the machine where the ExaVault appliance is installed.

This setup can be ideal for companies with strict on-premise policies or environments where internet access is limited or restricted. Files are transferred through traditional FTP/SFTP protocols, and management is handled at the system level, not through a web portal.

When comparing solutions, it’s important to consider what works best for your business. A “secure FTP site” can mean many different things depending on the vendor. For example, choosing between ExaVault and ShareFile, or even Files.com (ExaVault’s sister product), goes beyond just looking for secure file transfer—it depends on how many users you need, where your data needs to move, and whether you prefer a cloud-native interface or a locally managed setup.

If you’re looking for full control over file transfers from within your own infrastructure, and you're comfortable managing everything locally, ExaVault’s appliance-based model may be a strong fit.

The Custom Branded Experience

For most businesses custom branding is essential. A branded FTP site give you and your customers traditional FTP services from your own website. You can full integrate ExaVault FTP services to show your brand. An ExaVault FTP site provides you with custom branding options. Show your company name, logo, colors and URL, even on emails.

The custom branded experience provides an integrated service that lets file sharing work with how you do business. With hosted FTP and enterprise-grade security, branded file sharing is what makes an FTP site great for business.

Why a Branded FTP Site?

Here are four good reasons:

1. Save time
2. Save money
3. Secure FTP storage
4. Custom branding enhances your visibility

So, let your business shine while an FTP site does all the work. Use FTP to send large files directly from your website. Let clients on your site upload files or images directly to your FTP account.

If you were wondering what an FTP Site is, it is just a fancy way of saying it’s all the things you love about FTP for file sharing plus all the modern stuff you want so you can work online.
