Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

EndpointDetails

The virtual private cloud (VPC) endpoint settings that are configured for your file transfer protocol-enabled server. With a VPC endpoint, you can restrict access to your server and resources only within your VPC. To control incoming internet traffic, invoke the UpdateServer API and attach an Elastic IP address to your server's endpoint.

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 Discontinuing the use of 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.

AddressAllocationIds

A list of address allocation IDs that are required to attach an Elastic IP address to your server's endpoint.

An address allocation ID corresponds to the allocation ID of an Elastic IP address. This value can be retrieved from the allocationId field from the Amazon EC2 Address data type. One way to retrieve this value is by calling the EC2 DescribeAddresses API.

This parameter is optional. Set this parameter if you want to make your VPC endpoint public-facing. For details, see Create an internet-facing endpoint for your server.

Note

This property can only be set as follows:

  • EndpointType must be set to VPC

  • The Transfer Family server must be offline.

  • You cannot set this parameter for Transfer Family servers that use the FTP protocol.

  • The server must already have SubnetIds populated (SubnetIds and AddressAllocationIds cannot be updated simultaneously).

  • AddressAllocationIds can't contain duplicates, and must be equal in length to SubnetIds. For example, if you have three subnet IDs, you must also specify three address allocation IDs.

  • Call the UpdateServer API to set or change this parameter.

  • You can't set address allocation IDs for servers that have an IpAddressType set to DUALSTACK You can only set this property if IpAddressType is set to IPV4.

Type: Array of strings

Required: No

SecurityGroupIds

A list of security groups IDs that are available to attach to your server's endpoint.

Note

While SecurityGroupIds appears in the response syntax for consistency with CreateServer and UpdateServer operations, this field is not populated in DescribeServer responses. Security groups are managed at the VPC endpoint level and can be modified outside of the Transfer Family service. To retrieve current security group information, use the EC2 DescribeVpcEndpoints API with the VpcEndpointId returned in the response.

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.

Type: Array of strings

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 11. Maximum length of 20.

Pattern: sg-[0-9a-f]{8,17}

Required: No

SubnetIds

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.

Type: Array of strings

Required: No

VpcEndpointId

The identifier of the VPC endpoint.

Note

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

For more information, see Discontinuing the use of VPC_ENDPOINT.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Fixed length of 22.

Pattern: vpce-[0-9a-f]{17}

Required: No

VpcId

The VPC identifier 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.

Type: String

Required: No
