We provide a number of ways to connect to your ExaVault account and upload/download data. The easiest thing to do is use our advanced web-based file manager, which we call SWFT. Read on for details on how to use that.

If you prefer desktop software, or have an existing workflow you need to fit into, you may want to use a desktop FTP client. We have FTP client tutorials available for all popular software.
