A self-hosted FTP / SFTP server, free forever.
ExaVault is a focused, self-hosted file-transfer appliance for teams that need protocol-level access to their own datacenter. The features below are the full picture — if your workflow needs automation, an API, or partner integrations, you want Files.com instead.
Web file manager
Browser-native UI for end users. Drag-drop uploads, folder permissions, shareable links.
Every standard protocol
FTP, SFTP, FTPS, and WebDAV on a hostname you control. Any client your partners use, your hardware.
AD / LDAP & SSO
Bind to your directory. Group-based permissions. SAML / SSO add-on for centralized identity.
Share links
Send a partner a single URL to upload or download a folder. Optional password and expiry.
Audit log
Every login, transfer, and permission change recorded. Local viewing; export to your SIEM.
Self-hosted control
Files never leave your VPC. You patch, you back up, you own the encryption keys. Free download; paid support optional.
Notifications
Email alerts when files are uploaded to a folder, when a share link is used, or when an admin action occurs. Configurable per-folder and per-user.
White-label branding
Your logo, your color scheme, your custom login page, your own Terms of Use that users accept on first login. Override anything site-wide with custom CSS.
Cipher control
Choose which TLS and SSH ciphers the appliance will accept. Lock down to FIPS-approved ciphers, disable legacy algorithms, meet your compliance bar.
Download the appliance.
Free download. Provision in the cloud or your datacenter in under an hour. Paid support tiers available when you’re ready for production.
File content stays in your environment. The appliance runs as a VM image inside your own infrastructure (VMware vSphere, AWS, GCP, or Azure); file payloads, user credentials, and audit logs all stay on disk inside that environment. The appliance does not transmit file contents anywhere.
What the appliance does check in for: a periodic ping to our license server so we know who’s running the product, plus aggregate usage statistics — total number of users, total file volume, and similar deployment-shape numbers. We use that data to understand our free-user community and size our investment in the product. We do not collect filenames, file contents, user identities, or anything else that would identify what your team is moving.
Optional outbound traffic on the Paid tier: automatic SSL certificate renewal via Let’s Encrypt, and automatic software updates from the ExaVault release server.
Need automation, an API, or partner integrations?
The free appliance is intentionally focused — protocol-level file transfer plus a web UI. Anything beyond that lives on Files.com's File Orchestration Platform: visual workflows, full REST API, AS2 partner integrations, PGP/GPG, SOC 2 / HIPAA-BAA out of the box.
