Overview

Constructs a service interface object. Each API operation is exposed as a function on service.

Service Description

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.

Sending a Request Using Transfer

var transfer = new AWS.Transfer();
transfer.createAccess(params, function (err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Locking the API Version

In order to ensure that the Transfer object uses this specific API, you can construct the object by passing the apiVersion option to the constructor:

var transfer = new AWS.Transfer({apiVersion: '2018-11-05'});

You can also set the API version globally in AWS.config.apiVersions using the transfer service identifier:

AWS.config.apiVersions = {
  transfer: '2018-11-05',
  // other service API versions
};

var transfer = new AWS.Transfer();

    an Endpoint object representing the endpoint URL for service requests.

Method Details

createAccess(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Used by administrators to choose which groups in the directory should have access to upload and download files over the enabled protocols using AWS Transfer Family. For example, a Microsoft Active Directory might contain 50,000 users, but only a small fraction might need the ability to transfer files to the server. An administrator can use CreateAccess to limit the access to the correct set of users who need this ability.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the createAccess operation

var params = {
  ExternalId: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  Role: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  ServerId: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  HomeDirectory: 'STRING_VALUE',
  HomeDirectoryMappings: [
    {
      Entry: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
      Target: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
    },
    /* more items */
  ],
  HomeDirectoryType: PATH | LOGICAL,
  Policy: 'STRING_VALUE',
  PosixProfile: {
    Gid: 'NUMBER_VALUE', /* required */
    Uid: 'NUMBER_VALUE', /* required */
    SecondaryGids: [
      'NUMBER_VALUE',
      /* more items */
    ]
  }
};
transfer.createAccess(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {}) —
    • HomeDirectory — (String)

      The landing directory (folder) for a user when they log in to the server using the client.

      A HomeDirectory example is /bucket_name/home/mydirectory.

    • HomeDirectoryType — (String)

      The type of landing directory (folder) you want your users' home directory to be when they log into the server. If you set it to PATH, the user will see the absolute Amazon S3 bucket or EFS paths as is in their file transfer protocol clients. If you set it LOGICAL, you will need to provide mappings in the HomeDirectoryMappings for how you want to make Amazon S3 or EFS paths visible to your users.

      Possible values include:
      • "PATH"
      • "LOGICAL"
    • HomeDirectoryMappings — (Array<map>)

      Logical directory mappings that specify what Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS paths and keys should be visible to your user and how you want to make them visible. You must specify the Entry and Target pair, where Entry shows how the path is made visible and Target is the actual Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS path. If you only specify a target, it will be displayed as is. You also must ensure that your AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role provides access to paths in Target. This value can only be set when HomeDirectoryType is set to LOGICAL.

      The following is an Entry and Target pair example.

      [ { "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 down your user to the designated home directory ("chroot"). To do this, you can set Entry to / and set Target to the HomeDirectory parameter value.

      The following is an Entry and Target pair example for chroot.

      [ { "Entry": "/", "Target": "/bucket_name/home/mydirectory" } ]

      Note: If the target of a logical directory entry does not exist in Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS, the entry will be ignored. As a workaround, you can use the Amazon S3 API or EFS API to create 0-byte objects as place holders for your directory. If using the AWS CLI, use the s3api or efsapi call instead of s3 or efs so you can use the put-object operation. For example, you can use the following. aws s3api put-object --bucket bucketname --key path/to/folder/ The end of the key name must end in a / for it to be considered a folder.
      • Entry — required — (String)

        Represents an entry and a target for HomeDirectoryMappings.

      • Target — required — (String)

        Represents the map target that is used in a HomeDirectorymapEntry.

    • Policy — (String)

      A scope-down policy for your user so that 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: This only applies when domain of ServerId is S3. Amazon EFS does not use scope-down policies. 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 Example scope-down policy. For more information, see AssumeRole in the AWS Security Token Service API Reference.
    • PosixProfile — (map)

      The full POSIX identity, including user ID (Uid), group ID (Gid), and any secondary groups IDs (SecondaryGids), that controls your users' access to your Amazon EFS file systems. The POSIX permissions that are set on files and directories in your file system determine the level of access your users get when transferring files into and out of your Amazon EFS file systems.

      • Uid — required — (Integer)

        The POSIX user ID used for all EFS operations by this user.

      • Gid — required — (Integer)

        The POSIX group ID used for all EFS operations by this user.

      • SecondaryGids — (Array<Integer>)

        The secondary POSIX group IDs used for all EFS operations by this user.

    • Role — (String)

      Specifies the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role that controls your users' access to your Amazon S3 bucket or EFS file system. The policies attached to this role determine the level of access that you want to provide your users when transferring files into and out of your Amazon S3 bucket or EFS file system. The IAM role should also contain a trust relationship that allows the server to access your resources when servicing your users' transfer requests.

    • ServerId — (String)

      A system-assigned unique identifier for a server instance. This is the specific server that you added your user to.

    • ExternalId — (String)

      A unique identifier that is required to identify specific groups within your directory. The users of the group that you associate have access to your Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS resources over the enabled protocols using AWS Transfer Family. If you know the group name, you can view the SID values by running the following command using Windows PowerShell.

      Get-ADGroup -Filter {samAccountName -like "YourGroupName*"} -Properties * | Select SamAccountName,ObjectSid

      In that command, replace YourGroupName with the name of your Active Directory group.

      The regex used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of uppercase and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include underscores or any of the following characters: =,.@:/-

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response) —

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error) —

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object) —

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • ServerId — (String)

        The ID of the server that the user is attached to.

      • ExternalId — (String)

        The external ID of the group whose users have access to your Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS resources over the enabled protocols using AWS Transfer Family.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request) —

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

createServer(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Instantiates an auto-scaling 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.

      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.
    • Domain — (String)

      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.
      Possible values include:
      • "S3"
      • "EFS"
    • EndpointDetails — (map)

      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 — (Array<String>)

        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.
      • SubnetIds — (Array<String>)

        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)

        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 — (Array<String>)

        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.
    • EndpointType — (String)

      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 AWS 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 AWS 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.
      Possible values include:
      • "PUBLIC"
      • "VPC"
      • "VPC_ENDPOINT"
    • HostKey — (String)

      The RSA private key as generated by the ssh-keygen -N "" -m PEM -f my-new-server-key command.

      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.

    • IdentityProviderDetails — (map)

      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 AWS Directory Service directory that you want to stop sharing.

    • IdentityProviderType — (String)

      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 AWS Transfer Family service. Use AWS_DIRECTORY_SERVICE to provide access to Active Directory groups in AWS Managed Active Directory or Microsoft Active Directory in your on-premises environment or in AWS 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.

      Possible values include:
      • "SERVICE_MANAGED"
      • "API_GATEWAY"
      • "AWS_DIRECTORY_SERVICE"
    • LoggingRole — (String)

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

    • Protocols — (Array<String>)

      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 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 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.
    • SecurityPolicyName — (String)

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

    • Tags — (Array<map>)

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request) —

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

createUser(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

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.

Examples:

Calling the createUser operation

var params = {
  Role: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  ServerId: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  UserName: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  HomeDirectory: 'STRING_VALUE',
  HomeDirectoryMappings: [
    {
      Entry: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
      Target: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
    },
    /* more items */
  ],
  HomeDirectoryType: PATH | LOGICAL,
  Policy: 'STRING_VALUE',
  PosixProfile: {
    Gid: 'NUMBER_VALUE', /* required */
    Uid: 'NUMBER_VALUE', /* required */
    SecondaryGids: [
      'NUMBER_VALUE',
      /* more items */
    ]
  },
  SshPublicKeyBody: 'STRING_VALUE',
  Tags: [
    {
      Key: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
      Value: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
    },
    /* more items */
  ]
};
transfer.createUser(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {}) —
    • HomeDirectory — (String)

      The landing directory (folder) for a user when they log in to the server using the client.

      A HomeDirectory example is /bucket_name/home/mydirectory.

    • HomeDirectoryType — (String)

      The type of landing directory (folder) you want your users' home directory to be when they log into the server. If you set it to PATH, the user will see the absolute Amazon S3 bucket or EFS paths as is in their file transfer protocol clients. If you set it LOGICAL, you will need to provide mappings in the HomeDirectoryMappings for how you want to make Amazon S3 or EFS paths visible to your users.

      Possible values include:
      • "PATH"
      • "LOGICAL"
    • HomeDirectoryMappings — (Array<map>)

      Logical directory mappings that specify what Amazon S3 or EFS 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 or EFS 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. This value can only be set when HomeDirectoryType is set to LOGICAL.

      The following is an Entry and Target pair example.

      [ { "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.

      The following is an Entry and Target pair example for chroot.

      [ { "Entry": "/", "Target": "/bucket_name/home/mydirectory" } ]

      Note: If the target of a logical directory entry does not exist in Amazon S3 or EFS, the entry will be ignored. As a workaround, you can use the Amazon S3 API or EFS API to create 0 byte objects as place holders for your directory. If using the CLI, use the s3api or efsapi call instead of s3 or efs 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.
      • Entry — required — (String)

        Represents an entry and a target for HomeDirectoryMappings.

      • Target — required — (String)

        Represents the map target that is used in a HomeDirectorymapEntry.

    • Policy — (String)

      A scope-down policy for your user so that 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: This only applies when domain of ServerId is S3. EFS does not use scope down policy. 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 Example scope-down policy. For more information, see AssumeRole in the AWS Security Token Service API Reference.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the listUsers operation

var params = {
  ServerId: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  MaxResults: 'NUMBER_VALUE',
  NextToken: 'STRING_VALUE'
};
transfer.listUsers(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {}) —
    • MaxResults — (Integer)

      Specifies the number of users to return as a response to the ListUsers request.

    • NextToken — (String)

      When you can get additional results from the ListUsers call, a NextToken parameter is returned in the output. You can then pass in a subsequent command to the NextToken parameter to continue listing additional users.

    • ServerId — (String)

      A system-assigned unique identifier for a server that has users assigned to it.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response) —

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error) —

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object) —

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • NextToken — (String)

        When you can get additional results from the ListUsers call, a NextToken parameter is returned in the output. You can then pass in a subsequent command to the NextToken parameter to continue listing additional users.

      • ServerId — (String)

        A system-assigned unique identifier for a server that the users are assigned to.

      • Users — (Array<map>)

        Returns the user accounts and their properties for the ServerId value that you specify.

        • Arn — required — (String)

          Provides the unique Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the user that you want to learn about.

        • HomeDirectory — (String)

          The landing directory (folder) for a user when they log in to the server using the client.

          A HomeDirectory example is /bucket_name/home/mydirectory.

        • HomeDirectoryType — (String)

          The type of landing directory (folder) you want your users' home directory to be when they log into the server. If you set it to PATH, the user will see the absolute Amazon S3 bucket or EFS paths as is in their file transfer protocol clients. If you set it LOGICAL, you will need to provide mappings in the HomeDirectoryMappings for how you want to make Amazon S3 or EFS paths visible to your users.

          Possible values include:
          • "PATH"
          • "LOGICAL"
        • Role — (String)

          Specifies the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role that controls your users' access to your Amazon S3 bucket or EFS file system. The policies attached to this role determine the level of access that you want to provide your users when transferring files into and out of your Amazon S3 bucket or EFS file system. The IAM role should also contain a trust relationship that allows the server to access your resources when servicing your users' transfer requests.

          Note: The IAM role that controls your users' access to your Amazon S3 bucket for servers with Domain=S3, or your EFS file system for servers with Domain=EFS. The policies attached to this role determine the level of access you want to provide your users when transferring files into and out of your S3 buckets or EFS file systems.
        • SshPublicKeyCount — (Integer)

          Specifies the number of SSH public keys stored for the user you specified.

        • UserName — (String)

          Specifies the name of the user whose ARN was specified. User names are used for authentication purposes.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request) —

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

startServer(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

updateAccess(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Allows you to update parameters for the access specified in the ServerID and ExternalID parameters.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the updateAccess operation

var params = {
  ExternalId: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  ServerId: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  HomeDirectory: 'STRING_VALUE',
  HomeDirectoryMappings: [
    {
      Entry: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
      Target: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
    },
    /* more items */
  ],
  HomeDirectoryType: PATH | LOGICAL,
  Policy: 'STRING_VALUE',
  PosixProfile: {
    Gid: 'NUMBER_VALUE', /* required */
    Uid: 'NUMBER_VALUE', /* required */
    SecondaryGids: [
      'NUMBER_VALUE',
      /* more items */
    ]
  },
  Role: 'STRING_VALUE'
};
transfer.updateAccess(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {}) —
    • HomeDirectory — (String)

      The landing directory (folder) for a user when they log in to the server using the client.

      A HomeDirectory example is /bucket_name/home/mydirectory.

    • HomeDirectoryType — (String)

      The type of landing directory (folder) you want your users' home directory to be when they log into the server. If you set it to PATH, the user will see the absolute Amazon S3 bucket or EFS paths as is in their file transfer protocol clients. If you set it LOGICAL, you will need to provide mappings in the HomeDirectoryMappings for how you want to make Amazon S3 or EFS paths visible to your users.

      Possible values include:
      • "PATH"
      • "LOGICAL"
    • HomeDirectoryMappings — (Array<map>)

      Logical directory mappings that specify what Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS paths and keys should be visible to your user and how you want to make them visible. You must specify the Entry and Target pair, where Entry shows how the path is made visible and Target is the actual Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS path. If you only specify a target, it will be displayed as is. You also must ensure that your AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role provides access to paths in Target. This value can only be set when HomeDirectoryType is set to LOGICAL.

      The following is an Entry and Target pair example.

      [ { "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 down your user to the designated home directory ("chroot"). To do this, you can set Entry to / and set Target to the HomeDirectory parameter value.

      The following is an Entry and Target pair example for chroot.

      [ { "Entry": "/", "Target": "/bucket_name/home/mydirectory" } ]

      Note: If the target of a logical directory entry does not exist in Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS, the entry will be ignored. As a workaround, you can use the Amazon S3 API or EFS API to create 0-byte objects as place holders for your directory. If using the AWS CLI, use the s3api or efsapi call instead of s3 or efs so you can use the put-object operation. For example, you can use the following. aws s3api put-object --bucket bucketname --key path/to/folder/ The end of the key name must end in a / for it to be considered a folder.
      • Entry — required — (String)

        Represents an entry and a target for HomeDirectoryMappings.

      • Target — required — (String)

        Represents the map target that is used in a HomeDirectorymapEntry.

    • Policy — (String)

      A scope-down policy for your user so that 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: This only applies when domain of ServerId is S3. Amazon EFS does not use scope down policy. 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 Example scope-down policy. For more information, see AssumeRole in the AWS Security Token Service API Reference.
    • PosixProfile — (map)

      The full POSIX identity, including user ID (Uid), group ID (Gid), and any secondary groups IDs (SecondaryGids), that controls your users' access to your Amazon EFS file systems. The POSIX permissions that are set on files and directories in your file system determine the level of access your users get when transferring files into and out of your Amazon EFS file systems.

      • Uid — required — (Integer)

        The POSIX user ID used for all EFS operations by this user.

      • Gid — required — (Integer)

        The POSIX group ID used for all EFS operations by this user.

      • SecondaryGids — (Array<Integer>)

        The secondary POSIX group IDs used for all EFS operations by this user.

    • Role — (String)

      Specifies the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role that controls your users' access to your Amazon S3 bucket or EFS file system. The policies attached to this role determine the level of access that you want to provide your users when transferring files into and out of your Amazon S3 bucket or EFS file system. The IAM role should also contain a trust relationship that allows the server to access your resources when servicing your users' transfer requests.

    • ServerId — (String)

      A system-assigned unique identifier for a server instance. This is the specific server that you added your user to.

    • ExternalId — (String)

      A unique identifier that is required to identify specific groups within your directory. The users of the group that you associate have access to your Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS resources over the enabled protocols using AWS Transfer Family. If you know the group name, you can view the SID values by running the following command using Windows PowerShell.

      Get-ADGroup -Filter {samAccountName -like "YourGroupName*"} -Properties * | Select SamAccountName,ObjectSid

      In that command, replace YourGroupName with the name of your Active Directory group.

      The regex used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of uppercase and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include underscores or any of the following characters: =,.@:/-

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

      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.
    • EndpointDetails — (map)

      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.

      • AddressAllocationIds — (Array<String>)

        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.
      • SubnetIds — (Array<String>)

        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)

        The VPC ID of the VPC in which a server's endpoint will be hosted.

To change security groups associated with your server's VPC endpoint after creation, use the Amazon EC2 ModifyVpcEndpoint API.
    • EndpointType — (String)

      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 AWS 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 AWS 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.
      Possible values include:
      • "PUBLIC"
      • "VPC"
      • "VPC_ENDPOINT"
    • HostKey — (String)

      The RSA private key as generated by ssh-keygen -N "" -m PEM -f my-new-server-key.

      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.

    • IdentityProviderDetails — (map)

      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 AWS Directory Service directory that you want to stop sharing.

    • LoggingRole — (String)

      Changes the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that allows Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS events to be logged in Amazon CloudWatch, turning logging on or off.

    • Protocols — (Array<String>)

      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 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 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.
    • SecurityPolicyName — (String)

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

    • ServerId — (String)

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

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response) —

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error) —

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object) —

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • ServerId — (String)

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

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request) —

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

updateUser(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Assigns new properties to a user. Parameters you pass modify any or all of the following: the home directory, role, and policy for the UserName and ServerId you specify.

The response returns the ServerId and the UserName for the updated user.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the updateUser operation

var params = {
  ServerId: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  UserName: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  HomeDirectory: 'STRING_VALUE',
  HomeDirectoryMappings: [
    {
      Entry: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
      Target: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
    },
    /* more items */
  ],
  HomeDirectoryType: PATH | LOGICAL,
  Policy: 'STRING_VALUE',
  PosixProfile: {
    Gid: 'NUMBER_VALUE', /* required */
    Uid: 'NUMBER_VALUE', /* required */
    SecondaryGids: [
      'NUMBER_VALUE',
      /* more items */
    ]
  },
  Role: 'STRING_VALUE'
};
transfer.updateUser(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {}) —
    • HomeDirectory — (String)

      The landing directory (folder) for a user when they log in to the server using the client.

      A HomeDirectory example is /bucket_name/home/mydirectory.

    • HomeDirectoryType — (String)

      The type of landing directory (folder) you want your users' home directory to be when they log into the server. If you set it to PATH, the user will see the absolute Amazon S3 bucket or EFS paths as is in their file transfer protocol clients. If you set it LOGICAL, you will need to provide mappings in the HomeDirectoryMappings for how you want to make Amazon S3 or EFS paths visible to your users.

      Possible values include:
      • "PATH"
      • "LOGICAL"
    • HomeDirectoryMappings — (Array<map>)

      Logical directory mappings that specify what Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS 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 or Amazon EFS 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 down your user 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 or EFS, the entry will be ignored. As a workaround, you can use the Amazon S3 API or EFS API to create 0-byte objects as place holders for your directory. If using the AWS CLI, use the s3api or efsapi call instead of s3 efs 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.
      • Entry — required — (String)

        Represents an entry and a target for HomeDirectoryMappings.

      • Target — required — (String)

        Represents the map target that is used in a HomeDirectorymapEntry.

    • Policy — (String)

      A scope-down policy for your user so that 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: This only applies when domain of ServerId is S3. Amazon EFS does not use scope-down policies. 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.
    • PosixProfile — (map)

      Specifies the full POSIX identity, including user ID (Uid), group ID (Gid), and any secondary groups IDs (SecondaryGids), that controls your users' access to your Amazon Elastic File Systems (Amazon EFS). The POSIX permissions that are set on files and directories in your file system determines the level of access your users get when transferring files into and out of your Amazon EFS file systems.

      • Uid — required — (Integer)

        The POSIX user ID used for all EFS operations by this user.

      • Gid — required — (Integer)

        The POSIX group ID used for all EFS operations by this user.

      • SecondaryGids — (Array<Integer>)

        The secondary POSIX group IDs used for all EFS operations by this user.

    • Role — (String)

      Specifies the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role that controls your users' access to your Amazon S3 bucket or EFS file system. The policies attached to this role determine the level of access that you want to provide your users when transferring files into and out of your Amazon S3 bucket or EFS file system. The IAM role should also contain a trust relationship that allows the server to access your resources when servicing your users' transfer requests.

    • ServerId — (String)

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

    • UserName — (String)

      A unique string that identifies a user and is associated with a server as specified by the ServerId. This user name must be a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 100 characters long. The following are valid characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, underscore '_', hyphen '-', period '.', and at sign '@'. The user name can't start with a hyphen, period, or at sign.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.
