A low-level client representing AWS Transfer Family
AWS Transfer Family is a fully managed service that enables the transfer of files over the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), File Transfer Protocol over SSL (FTPS), or Secure Shell (SSH) File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) directly into and out of Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). AWS helps you seamlessly migrate your file transfer workflows to AWS Transfer Family by integrating with existing authentication systems, and providing DNS routing with Amazon Route 53 so nothing changes for your customers and partners, or their applications. With your data in Amazon S3, you can use it with AWS services for processing, analytics, machine learning, and archiving. Getting started with AWS Transfer Family is easy since there is no infrastructure to buy and set up.
import boto3
client = boto3.client('transfer')
These are the available methods:
Check if an operation can be paginated.
Instantiates an autoscaling virtual server based on the selected file transfer protocol in AWS. When you make updates to your file transfer protocol-enabled server or when you work with users, use the service-generated ServerId property that is assigned to the newly created server.

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) certificate. Required when Protocols is set to FTPS .
To request a new public certificate, see Request a public certificate in the AWS Certificate Manager User Guide .
To import an existing certificate into ACM, see Importing certificates into ACM in the AWS Certificate Manager User Guide .
To request a private certificate to use FTPS through private IP addresses, see Request a private certificate in the AWS Certificate Manager User Guide .
Certificates with the following cryptographic algorithms and key sizes are supported:
Note
The certificate must be a valid SSL/TLS X.509 version 3 certificate with FQDN or IP address specified and information about the issuer.
The virtual private cloud (VPC) endpoint settings that are configured for your server. When you host your endpoint within your VPC, you can make it accessible only to resources within your VPC, or you can attach Elastic IPs and make it accessible to clients over the internet. Your VPC's default security groups are automatically assigned to your endpoint.
A list of address allocation IDs that are required to attach an Elastic IP address to your server's endpoint.
Note
This property can only be set when EndpointType is set to VPC and it is only valid in the UpdateServer API.
A list of subnet IDs that are required to host your server endpoint in your VPC.
Note
This property can only be set when EndpointType is set to VPC .
The ID of the VPC endpoint.
Note
This property can only be set when EndpointType is set to VPC_ENDPOINT .
The VPC ID of the VPC in which a server's endpoint will be hosted.
Note
This property can only be set when EndpointType is set to VPC .
A list of security groups IDs that are available to attach to your server's endpoint.
Note
This property can only be set when EndpointType is set to VPC .
You can only edit the SecurityGroupIds property in the UpdateServer API and only if you are changing the EndpointType from PUBLIC or VPC_ENDPOINT to VPC .
The type of VPC endpoint that you want your server to connect to. You can choose to connect to the public internet or a VPC endpoint. With a VPC endpoint, you can restrict access to your server and resources only within your VPC.
Note
It is recommended that you use VPC as the EndpointType . With this endpoint type, you have the option to directly associate up to three Elastic IPv4 addresses (BYO IP included) with your server's endpoint and use VPC security groups to restrict traffic by the client's public IP address. This is not possible with EndpointType set to VPC_ENDPOINT .
The RSA private key as generated by the ssh-keygen -N "" -m PEM -f my-new-server-key command.
Warning
If you aren't planning to migrate existing users from an existing SFTP-enabled server to a new server, don't update the host key. Accidentally changing a server's host key can be disruptive.
For more information, see Change the host key for your SFTP-enabled server in the AWS Transfer Family User Guide .
Required when IdentityProviderType is set to API_GATEWAY . Accepts an array containing all of the information required to call a customer-supplied authentication API, including the API Gateway URL. Not required when IdentityProviderType is set to SERVICE_MANAGED .
Provides the location of the service endpoint used to authenticate users.
Provides the type of InvocationRole used to authenticate the user account.
Specifies the file transfer protocol or protocols over which your file transfer protocol client can connect to your server's endpoint. The available protocols are:
Note
If you select FTPS , you must choose a certificate stored in AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) which will be used to identify your server when clients connect to it over FTPS.
If Protocol includes either FTP or FTPS , then the EndpointType must be VPC and the IdentityProviderType must be API_GATEWAY .
If Protocol includes FTP , then AddressAllocationIds cannot be associated.
If Protocol is set only to SFTP , the EndpointType can be set to PUBLIC and the IdentityProviderType can be set to SERVICE_MANAGED .
Key-value pairs that can be used to group and search for servers.
Creates a key-value pair for a specific resource. Tags are metadata that you can use to search for and group a resource for various purposes. You can apply tags to servers, users, and roles. A tag key can take more than one value. For example, to group servers for accounting purposes, you might create a tag called Group and assign the values Research and Accounting to that group.
The name assigned to the tag that you create.
Contains one or more values that you assigned to the key name you create.

Exceptions
Creates a user and associates them with an existing file transfer protocol-enabled server. You can only create and associate users with servers that have the IdentityProviderType set to SERVICE_MANAGED . Using parameters for CreateUser , you can specify the user name, set the home directory, store the user's public key, and assign the user's AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role. You can also optionally add a scope-down policy, and assign metadata with tags that can be used to group and search for users.

)
The landing directory (folder) for a user when they log in to the server using the client.
An example is * your-Amazon-S3-bucket-name>/home/username * .
Logical directory mappings that specify what Amazon S3 paths and keys should be visible to your user and how you want to make them visible. You will need to specify the "Entry " and "Target " pair, where Entry shows how the path is made visible and Target is the actual Amazon S3 path. If you only specify a target, it will be displayed as is. You will need to also make sure that your IAM role provides access to paths in Target . The following is an example.
'[ "/bucket2/documentation", { "Entry": "your-personal-report.pdf", "Target": "/bucket3/customized-reports/${transfer:UserName}.pdf" } ]'
In most cases, you can use this value instead of the scope-down policy to lock your user down to the designated home directory ("chroot"). To do this, you can set Entry to '/' and set Target to the HomeDirectory parameter value.
Note
If the target of a logical directory entry does not exist in Amazon S3, the entry will be ignored. As a workaround, you can use the Amazon S3 API to create 0 byte objects as place holders for your directory. If using the CLI, use the s3api call instead of s3 so you can use the put-object operation. For example, you use the following: aws s3api put-object --bucket bucketname --key path/to/folder/ . Make sure that the end of the key name ends in a '/' for it to be considered a folder.
Represents an object that contains entries and targets for HomeDirectoryMappings .
Represents an entry and a target for HomeDirectoryMappings .
Represents the map target that is used in a HomeDirectorymapEntry .
A scope-down policy for your user so you can use the same IAM role across multiple users. This policy scopes down user access to portions of their Amazon S3 bucket. Variables that you can use inside this policy include ${Transfer:UserName} , ${Transfer:HomeDirectory} , and ${Transfer:HomeBucket} .
Note
For scope-down policies, AWS Transfer Family stores the policy as a JSON blob, instead of the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the policy. You save the policy as a JSON blob and pass it in the Policy argument.
For an example of a scope-down policy, see Creating a scope-down policy .
For more information, see AssumeRole in the AWS Security Token Service API Reference .
[REQUIRED]

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) certificate. Required when Protocols is set to FTPS .
To request a new public certificate, see Request a public certificate in the AWS Certificate Manager User Guide .
To import an existing certificate into ACM, see Importing certificates into ACM in the AWS Certificate Manager User Guide .
To request a private certificate to use FTPS through private IP addresses, see Request a private certificate in the AWS Certificate Manager User Guide .
Certificates with the following cryptographic algorithms and key sizes are supported:
Note
The certificate must be a valid SSL/TLS X.509 version 3 certificate with FQDN or IP address specified and information about the issuer.
The virtual private cloud (VPC) endpoint settings that are configured for your server. With a VPC endpoint, you can restrict access to your server to resources only within your VPC. To control incoming internet traffic, you will need to associate one or more Elastic IP addresses with your server's endpoint.
A list of address allocation IDs that are required to attach an Elastic IP address to your server's endpoint.
Note
This property can only be set when EndpointType is set to VPC and it is only valid in the UpdateServer API.
A list of subnet IDs that are required to host your server endpoint in your VPC.
Note
This property can only be set when EndpointType is set to VPC .

Note
This property can only be set when EndpointType is set to VPC .
A list of security groups IDs that are available to attach to your server's endpoint.
Note
This property can only be set when EndpointType is set to VPC .
You can only edit the SecurityGroupIds property in the UpdateServer API and only if you are changing the EndpointType from PUBLIC or VPC_ENDPOINT to VPC .
The type of endpoint that you want your server to connect to. You can choose to connect to the public internet or a VPC endpoint. With a VPC endpoint, you can restrict access to your server and resources only within your VPC.
Note
It is recommended that you use VPC as the EndpointType . With this endpoint type, you have the option to directly associate up to three Elastic IPv4 addresses (BYO IP included) with your server's endpoint and use VPC security groups to restrict traffic by the client's public IP address. This is not possible with EndpointType set to VPC_ENDPOINT .
The RSA private key as generated by ssh-keygen -N "" -m PEM -f my-new-server-key .
Warning
If you aren't planning to migrate existing users from an existing server to a new server, don't update the host key. Accidentally changing a server's host key can be disruptive.
For more information, see Change the host key for your SFTP-enabled server in the AWS Transfer Family User Guide .

Provides the location of the service endpoint used to authenticate users.
Provides the type of InvocationRole used to authenticate the user account.
Specifies the file transfer protocol or protocols over which your file transfer protocol client can connect to your server's endpoint. The available protocols are:
Note
If you select FTPS , you must choose a certificate stored in AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) which will be used to identify your server when clients connect to it over FTPS.
If Protocol includes either FTP or FTPS , then the EndpointType must be VPC and the IdentityProviderType must be API_GATEWAY .
If Protocol includes FTP , then AddressAllocationIds cannot be associated.
If Protocol is set only to SFTP , the EndpointType can be set to PUBLIC and the IdentityProviderType can be set to SERVICE_MANAGED .

)
Specifies the landing directory (folder) for a user when they log in to the server using their file transfer protocol client.
An example is your-Amazon-S3-bucket-name>/home/username .
Logical directory mappings that specify what Amazon S3 paths and keys should be visible to your user and how you want to make them visible. You will need to specify the "Entry " and "Target " pair, where Entry shows how the path is made visible and Target is the actual Amazon S3 path. If you only specify a target, it will be displayed as is. You will need to also make sure that your IAM role provides access to paths in Target . The following is an example.
'[ "/bucket2/documentation", { "Entry": "your-personal-report.pdf", "Target": "/bucket3/customized-reports/${transfer:UserName}.pdf" } ]'
In most cases, you can use this value instead of the scope-down policy to lock your user down to the designated home directory ("chroot"). To do this, you can set Entry to '/' and set Target to the HomeDirectory parameter value.
Note
If the target of a logical directory entry does not exist in Amazon S3, the entry will be ignored. As a workaround, you can use the Amazon S3 API to create 0 byte objects as place holders for your directory. If using the CLI, use the s3api call instead of s3 so you can use the put-object operation. For example, you use the following: aws s3api put-object --bucket bucketname --key path/to/folder/ . Make sure that the end of the key name ends in a / for it to be considered a folder.
Represents an object that contains entries and targets for HomeDirectoryMappings .
Represents an entry and a target for HomeDirectoryMappings .
Represents the map target that is used in a HomeDirectorymapEntry .
Allows you to supply a scope-down policy for your user so you can use the same IAM role across multiple users. The policy scopes down user access to portions of your Amazon S3 bucket. Variables you can use inside this policy include ${Transfer:UserName} , ${Transfer:HomeDirectory} , and ${Transfer:HomeBucket} .
Note
For scope-down policies, AWS Transfer Family stores the policy as a JSON blob, instead of the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the policy. You save the policy as a JSON blob and pass it in the Policy argument.
For an example of a scope-down policy, see Creating a scope-down policy .
For more information, see AssumeRole in the AWS Security Token Service API Reference .
[REQUIRED]
