CLI

exfs is the ExpanDrive Server Edition executable. While it normally runs as a background service, it also accepts command-line invocations for scripted or headless environments. Each of the following is a separate command invocation.

Help and Configuration

exfs --help Print help.

exfs --config Launch the web-based configuration interface on port 28080.

Server Activation

exfs --register <server_token> Activate Server Edition using a server token.

Drive Management

On Windows, admin rights are required for mount and unmount operations.

exfs --list List all configured connections.

exfs --mount <drive_name> Mount a drive by name.

exfs --unmount <drive_name> Unmount a drive by name.

exfs --unmount-all Unmount all drives.

Service Behavior

exfs --foreground Keep exfs in the foreground rather than running as a background service.

exfs --sync Enable sync write operations. Use this when it is important that operations like delete, rename, and write do not complete until they have been propagated to remote storage. This is generally much slower since there is no opportunity to aggregate and parallelize multiple requests.
