Connecting Your ExaVault Account With XFTP

When you start XFTP, the main application will open as well as a Sessions box. In the sessions box, use the New button to establish a connection to your ExaVault account. Enter your ExaVault credentials for the name and host. SFTP is the default protocol. Then enter your ExaVault username and password. Hit connect to see the ExaVault connections. Finally, select your account and double-click to establish a connection.

Transferring Files

With the XFTP client, you’ll be presented with an easy to understand dual-pane application. The left pane features your computer content. The right pane features your ExaVault account. 

Downloading is simple. Use the drag and drop functionality to grab a folder and drop it to your desktop. A progress readout shows up below in the transfers box. This lets you know how your file transfers are going.

You can select multiple files and folders to transfer. Then, expand the transfers box so you can see more of what’s going on. XFTP shows you the transfer process in real-time. 

Larger folders full of files may take a while to download. Expand the contents of the folders in the transfers box to check status or see where there is a holdup.

With XFTP, you can add an upload from your computer to the ExaVault account while downloads are still going. If you see that a specific download is taking a while, you can go ahead and remove it from the list. This allows the rest of your transfers to complete quickly.

Additional XFTP Features

There are a variety of useful menu items in the XFTP application, including key managers and the ability to synchronize folders.

If using the synchronize feature, there are some options you can adjust to meet your needs. There is also a logs tab down in the transfers box. Check logs to find useful information about your SFTP session. Logs include any errors, which can be handy for troubleshooting. 

If you get stuck, you can access the help library from the menu. There is also a helpful XFTP online Wiki designed to provide the information you need to get on your way.
