Using SFTP connectors

This topic describes how to perform the supported file operations using your SFTP connector. You can also find example commands to perform these operations by selecting your connector's details on the Amazon Transfer Family console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/transfer/.

After you have created an SFTP connector, you can use it to perform the following file operations on the remote SFTP server that it's associated with.

  • Send files from Amazon S3 to the remote SFTP server.

  • Retrieve files from the remote SFTP server to Amazon S3.

  • List files and sub-folders from a directory on the remote SFTP server.

  • Delete, rename or move files and directories on the remote SFTP server.

Note

Currently, SFTP connectors can only be used to connect to remote SFTP servers that offer an internet-accessible endpoint.
