          • (string) --

      • EndpointType (string) --

        Defines the type of endpoint that your server is connected to. If your server is connected to a VPC endpoint, your server isn't accessible over the public internet.

      • HostKeyFingerprint (string) --

        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.

      • LoggingRole (string) --

        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.

        The states of STARTING and STOPPING indicate that the server is in an intermediate state, either not fully able to respond, or not fully offline. The values of START_FAILED or STOP_FAILED can indicate an error condition.

      • Tags (list) --

        Specifies the key-value pairs that you can use to search for and group servers that were assigned to the server that was described.

        • (dict) --

          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.

    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 .

  • 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) --

    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

    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 .
