Embedding EVFTP on Your Website
The ExaVault Secure FTP web client is available for you to embed on your website. You can also rebrand the client (remove references to ExaVault) so that visitors to your website need not realize that ExaVault is hosting your files.
To embed or rebrand the web FTP client, a rudimentary knowledge of HTML and CSS is helpful. HTML and CSS are very easy to learn. For some help with your web page, refer to our HTML/CSS Tutorial references.
Embedding EVFTP with <iframe>
Embedding the Java FTP client involves simply placing an <iframe> tag in the html code for your web page.
The <iframe> will be formatted as follows:
<iframe src="https://files.exavault.com/
?1st_parameter=value
&2nd_parameter=value
&3rd_parameter=value"
width="810"
height="615"
frameborder="0"
scrolling="no" />
See Example Sites below for actual sample code.
Notes
- All
<iframe>attributes are optional exceptwidth&height. You are permitted to use any of the attributes that can be used with<iframe>elements. - You can pass parameters to the applet itself to control its behavior. For example, you can lock it to one specific user.
- The first parameter is prefaced with a question mark (
?). - Additional parameters are prefaced with an ampersand (
&).

About the "FTP Space provided by ExaVault" Attribution Message
We add a small message at the bottom of our File Transfer Client indicating that your
FTP space is provided by ExaVault. You are welcome to turn this message off using the
attribution=0 parameter. However, if you do, we kindly ask that you link to our
website from elsewhere on your site (e.g. from your footer or a 'partners' page.) You may use the
following HTML code to make the link:
<a href="http://www.exavault.com/">FTP Space</a> provided by <a href="http://www.exavault.com/">ExaVault</a>
