AWS API Changes

2020/04/23 - AWS Transfer Family - 4 updated api methods

Changes This release adds support for transfers over FTPS and FTP in and out of Amazon S3, which makes it easy to migrate File Transfer Protocol over SSL (FTPS) and FTP workloads to AWS, in addition to the existing support for Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP).

CreateServer (updated)

Link ¶
Changes (request)

{'Certificate': 'string', 'Protocols': ['SFTP | FTP | FTPS']}

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.

type Certificate

string

param Certificate

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) certificate. Required when Protocols is set to FTPS .

type EndpointDetails

dict

param EndpointDetails

The virtual private cloud (VPC) endpoint settings that are configured for your file transfer protocol-enabled 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.

AddressAllocationIds (list) --

A list of address allocation IDs that are required to attach an Elastic IP address to your file transfer protocol-enabled server's endpoint. This is only valid in the UpdateServer API.

Note

This property can only be use when EndpointType is set to VPC .
- (string) --
SubnetIds (list) --

A list of subnet IDs that are required to host your file transfer protocol-enabled server endpoint in your VPC.
- (string) --
VpcEndpointId (string) --

The ID of the VPC endpoint.
VpcId (string) --

The VPC ID of the VPC in which a file transfer protocol-enabled server's endpoint will be hosted.

type EndpointType

string

param EndpointType

The type of VPC endpoint that you want your file transfer protocol-enabled server to connect to. You can choose to connect to the public internet or a virtual private cloud (VPC) endpoint. With a VPC endpoint, you can restrict access to your server and resources only within your VPC.

type HostKey

string

param HostKey

The RSA private key as generated by the ssh-keygen -N "" -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 Changing the Host Key for Your AWS Transfer Family Server in the AWS Transfer Family User Guide .

type IdentityProviderDetails

dict

param IdentityProviderDetails

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 .

Url (string) --

Contains the location of the service endpoint used to authenticate users.
InvocationRole (string) --

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

type IdentityProviderType

string

param IdentityProviderType

Specifies the mode of authentication for a file transfer protocol-enabled server. The default value is SERVICE_MANAGED , which allows you to store and access user credentials within the AWS Transfer Family service. 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

Allows the service to write your users' activity to your Amazon CloudWatch logs for monitoring and auditing purposes.

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:

(string) --

type Tags

list

param Tags

Key-value pairs that can be used to group and search for file transfer protocol-enabled servers.

(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.
- Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]
  
  The name assigned to the tag that you create.
- Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]

TestIdentityProvider (updated)

Link ¶
Changes (request)

{'ServerProtocol': 'SFTP | FTP | FTPS'}

If the IdentityProviderType of a file transfer protocol-enabled server is API_Gateway , tests whether your API Gateway is set up successfully. We highly recommend that you call this operation to test your authentication method as soon as you create your server. By doing so, you can troubleshoot issues with the API Gateway integration to ensure that your users can successfully use the service.
