)
type MaxResults

integer

param MaxResults

Specifies the aximum number of executions to return.

type NextToken

string

param NextToken

ListExecutions returns the NextToken parameter in the output. You can then pass the NextToken parameter in a subsequent command to continue listing additional executions.

This is useful for pagination, for instance. If you have 100 executions for a workflow, you might only want to list first 10. If so, callthe API by specifing the max-results :

aws transfer list-executions --max-results 10

This returns details for the first 10 executions, as well as the pointer ( NextToken ) to the eleventh execution. You can now call the API again, suppling the NextToken value you received:

aws transfer list-executions --max-results 10 --next-token $somePointerReturnedFromPreviousListResult

This call returns the next 10 executions, the 11th through the 20th. You can then repeat the call until the details for all 100 executions have been returned.

To import an existing certificate into ACM, see Importing certificates into ACM in the Amazon Web Services Certificate Manager User Guide .

To request a private certificate to use FTPS through private IP addresses, see Request a private certificate in the Amazon Web Services Certificate Manager User Guide .

Certificates with the following cryptographic algorithms and key sizes are supported:

  • 2048-bit RSA (RSA_2048)

  • 4096-bit RSA (RSA_4096)

  • Elliptic Prime Curve 256 bit (EC_prime256v1)

  • Elliptic Prime Curve 384 bit (EC_secp384r1)

  • Elliptic Prime Curve 521 bit (EC_secp521r1)

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.

type Domain

string

param Domain

The domain of the storage system that is used for file transfers. There are two domains available: Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS). The default value is S3.

Note

After the server is created, the domain cannot be changed.

type EndpointDetails

dict

param EndpointDetails

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 IP addresses and make it accessible to clients over the internet. Your VPC's default security groups are automatically assigned to your endpoint.

  • AddressAllocationIds (list) --

    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.

    • (string) --

  • SubnetIds (list) --

    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 .

    • (string) --

  • VpcEndpointId (string) --

    The ID of the VPC endpoint.

    Note

    This property can only be set when EndpointType is set to VPC_ENDPOINT .

    For more information, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/transfer/latest/userguide/create-server-in-vpc.html#deprecate-vpc-endpoint.

  • VpcId (string) --

    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 .

  • SecurityGroupIds (list) --

    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 edit the SecurityGroupIds property in the UpdateServer API only if you are changing the EndpointType from PUBLIC or VPC_ENDPOINT to VPC . To change security groups associated with your server's VPC endpoint after creation, use the Amazon EC2 ModifyVpcEndpoint API.

    • (string) --

type EndpointType

string

param EndpointType

The type of endpoint that you want your server to use. You can choose to make your server's endpoint publicly accessible (PUBLIC) or host it inside your VPC. With an endpoint that is hosted in a VPC, you can restrict access to your server and resources only within your VPC or choose to make it internet facing by attaching Elastic IP addresses directly to it.

Note

After May 19, 2021, you won't be able to create a server using EndpointType=VPC_ENDPOINT in your Amazon Web Services account if your account hasn't already done so before May 19, 2021. If you have already created servers with EndpointType=VPC_ENDPOINT in your Amazon Web Services account on or before May 19, 2021, you will not be affected. After this date, use EndpointType = VPC .

For more information, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/transfer/latest/userguide/create-server-in-vpc.html#deprecate-vpc-endpoint.

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 .

type HostKey

string

param HostKey

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 Amazon Web Services Transfer Family User Guide .

type IdentityProviderDetails

dict

param IdentityProviderDetails

Required when IdentityProviderType is set to AWS_DIRECTORY_SERVICE or API_GATEWAY . Accepts an array containing all of the information required to use a directory in AWS_DIRECTORY_SERVICE or invoke a customer-supplied authentication API, including the API Gateway URL. Not required when IdentityProviderType is set to SERVICE_MANAGED .

  • Url (string) --

    Provides the location of the service endpoint used to authenticate users.

  • InvocationRole (string) --

    Provides the type of InvocationRole used to authenticate the user account.

  • DirectoryId (string) --

    The identifier of the Amazon Web ServicesDirectory Service directory that you want to stop sharing.

type IdentityProviderType

string

param IdentityProviderType

Specifies the mode of authentication for a server. The default value is SERVICE_MANAGED , which allows you to store and access user credentials within the Amazon Web Services Transfer Family service.

Use AWS_DIRECTORY_SERVICE to provide access to Active Directory groups in Amazon Web Services Managed Active Directory or Microsoft Active Directory in your on-premises environment or in Amazon Web Services using AD Connectors. This option also requires you to provide a Directory ID using the IdentityProviderDetails parameter.

Use the API_GATEWAY value to integrate with an identity provider of your choosing. The API_GATEWAY setting requires you to provide an API Gateway endpoint URL to call for authentication using the IdentityProviderDetails parameter.

type LoggingRole

string

param LoggingRole

Specifies the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Amazon Web Services Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that allows a server to turn on Amazon CloudWatch logging for Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS events. When set, user activity can be viewed in your CloudWatch logs.

type Protocols

list

param Protocols

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:

  • SFTP (Secure Shell (SSH) File Transfer Protocol): File transfer over SSH

  • FTPS (File Transfer Protocol Secure): File transfer with TLS encryption

  • FTP (File Transfer Protocol): Unencrypted file transfer

Note

If you select FTPS , you must choose a certificate stored in Amazon Web Services Certificate Manager (ACM) which is 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 AWS_DIRECTORY_SERVICE or 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 .

    Note

    This property can only be set when EndpointType is set to VPC .

    You can edit the SecurityGroupIds property in the UpdateServer API only if you are changing the EndpointType from PUBLIC or VPC_ENDPOINT to VPC . To change security groups associated with your server's VPC endpoint after creation, use the Amazon EC2 ModifyVpcEndpoint API.

    • (string) --

type EndpointType

string

param EndpointType

The type of endpoint that you want your server to use. You can choose to make your server's endpoint publicly accessible (PUBLIC) or host it inside your VPC. With an endpoint that is hosted in a VPC, you can restrict access to your server and resources only within your VPC or choose to make it internet facing by attaching Elastic IP addresses directly to it.

Note

After May 19, 2021, you won't be able to create a server using EndpointType=VPC_ENDPOINT in your Amazon Web Servicesaccount if your account hasn't already done so before May 19, 2021. If you have already created servers with EndpointType=VPC_ENDPOINT in your Amazon Web Servicesaccount on or before May 19, 2021, you will not be affected. After this date, use EndpointType = VPC .

For more information, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/transfer/latest/userguide/create-server-in-vpc.html#deprecate-vpc-endpoint.

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 .

type HostKey

string

param HostKey

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 Amazon Web ServicesTransfer Family User Guide .

type IdentityProviderDetails

dict

param IdentityProviderDetails

An array containing all of the information required to call a customer's authentication API method.

  • Url (string) --

    Provides the location of the service endpoint used to authenticate users.

  • InvocationRole (string) --

    Provides the type of InvocationRole used to authenticate the user account.

  • DirectoryId (string) --

    The identifier of the Amazon Web ServicesDirectory Service directory that you want to stop sharing.

type LoggingRole

string

param LoggingRole

Specifies the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Amazon Web Services Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that allows a server to turn on Amazon CloudWatch logging for Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS events. When set, user activity can be viewed in your CloudWatch logs.

type Protocols

list

param Protocols

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:

  • Secure Shell (SSH) File Transfer Protocol (SFTP): File transfer over SSH

  • File Transfer Protocol Secure (FTPS): File transfer with TLS encryption

  • File Transfer Protocol (FTP): Unencrypted file transfer

Note

If you select FTPS , you must choose a certificate stored in Amazon Web ServicesCertificate 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 AWS_DIRECTORY_SERVICE or 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 .

  • (string) --

type SecurityPolicyName

string

param SecurityPolicyName

Specifies the name of the security policy that is attached to the server.

type ServerId

string

param ServerId

[REQUIRED]

A system-assigned unique identifier for a server instance that the user account is assigned to.

type WorkflowDetails

dict

param WorkflowDetails

Specifies the workflow ID for the workflow to assign and the execution role used for executing the workflow.

  • OnUpload (list) -- [REQUIRED]

    A trigger that starts a workflow: the workflow begins to execute after a file is uploaded.

    • (dict) --

      Specifies the workflow ID for the workflow to assign and the execution role used for executing the workflow.

      • WorkflowId (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        A unique identifier for the workflow.

      • ExecutionRole (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        Includes the necessary permissions for S3, EFS, and Lambda operations that Transfer can assume, so that all workflow steps can operate on the required resources
