# ExaVault Documentation

ExaVault is an on-premise appliance for file transfer and file sharing, including full support for FTP, SFTP, and WebDAV.

ExaVault is actively supported and is a division of Files.com, the leading cloud managed file transfer vendor.

## ExaVault Interfaces

ExaVault separates file-management settings from appliance-level settings. Use the interface that owns the setting you need to change.

| Interface         | How to Open It                                                                                 | What It Manages                                                                                            |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Web interface     | Open `https://<your-appliance-hostname>/`                                                      | Files, folders, users, groups, Links, notifications, and Activity                                          |
| Admin Settings    | Sign in to the web interface as an administrator and select the gear in the upper-right corner | Branding, password requirements, session settings, terms of use, SSO, and LDAP                             |
| Appliance Manager | Open `https://<your-appliance-hostname>:9002/`                                                 | Licensing, hostname and network configuration, SMTP, Syslog, certificates, updates, and appliance restarts |
| Link pages        | Open a Link URL created by an ExaVault user                                                    | Uploading, downloading, or viewing shared content without an ExaVault user account                         |

The Appliance Manager has its own administrative password. An ExaVault administrator account for the web interface does not replace the Appliance Manager login. Restrict access to port `9002` at your firewall.

Previously, ExaVault was also referred to as SmartFile, FileHub, VeriStack, and Lumanox. These previous names are no longer in use, but you may see them referenced in source code or older documentation produced by ExaVault.
