ExaVault supports 'download-only' sub-accounts, which let your customers download (but not upload or delete) files.

Once you've established an account with us, here's what you need to do:

1. Login to the Client Area.
2. Click the Accounts link.
3. Click on the 'Sub-Account Administration' link next to your FTP account.
4. Click the 'Add New' sub-account link.

In the Sub-Account Administration page:

1. Enter the user name for sub-account.
2. Enter a password for your sub-account.
3. Enter a directory restriction folder path for your sub-account. [Optional]
4. Set the Permissions to Read Only.
5. Set the File Visibility option to Show Files. However, if you would like the sub-account to only access files via direct links, then set the File Visibility option to Hide Files.

You can easily distribute files for your download-only sub-account with a direct FTP link.

Examples of Direct Links

• Folder: ftp://download:evtest@test.exavault.com/
• File: ftp://download:evtest@test.exavault.com/transfer.pdf

For complete instructions on how to use direct links, see our direct link FAQ.
