Main.Transfer.create_accessMethod
create_access(external_id, role, server_id)
create_access(external_id, role, server_id, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Used by administrators to choose which groups in the directory should have access to upload and download files over the enabled protocols using 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.

Arguments

  • external_id: 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 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 regular expression 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: =,.@:/-
  • role: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that controls your users' access to your Amazon S3 bucket or Amazon 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 Amazon 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.
  • server_id: A system-assigned unique identifier for a server instance. This is the specific server that you added your user to.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "HomeDirectory": 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. The HomeDirectory parameter is only used if HomeDirectoryType is set to PATH.
  • "HomeDirectoryMappings": 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 is displayed as is. You also must ensure that your Identity and Access Management (IAM) role provides access to paths in Target. This value can be set only when HomeDirectoryType is set to LOGICAL. The following is an Entry and Target pair example. [ { "Entry": "/directory1", "Target": "/bucketname/home/mydirectory" } ] In most cases, you can use this value instead of the session 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": "/bucketname/home/mydirectory" } ]
  • "HomeDirectoryType": The type of landing directory (folder) that you want your users' home directory to be when they log in to the server. If you set it to PATH, the user will see the absolute Amazon S3 bucket or Amazon EFS path as is in their file transfer protocol clients. If you set it to LOGICAL, you need to provide mappings in the HomeDirectoryMappings for how you want to make Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS paths visible to your users. If HomeDirectoryType is LOGICAL, you must provide mappings, using the HomeDirectoryMappings parameter. If, on the other hand, HomeDirectoryType is PATH, you provide an absolute path using the HomeDirectory parameter. You cannot have both HomeDirectory and HomeDirectoryMappings in your template.
  • "Policy": A session policy for your user so that you can use the same Identity and Access Management (IAM) role across multiple users. This policy scopes down a user's access to portions of their Amazon S3 bucket. Variables that you can use inside this policy include {Transfer:UserName}, {Transfer:HomeDirectory}, and {Transfer:HomeBucket}. This policy applies only when the domain of ServerId is Amazon S3. Amazon EFS does not use session policies. For session policies, 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 session policy, see Example session policy. For more information, see AssumeRole in the Security Token Service API Reference.
  • "PosixProfile":

Main.Transfer.create_agreementMethod
create_agreement(access_role, base_directory, local_profile_id, partner_profile_id, server_id)
create_agreement(access_role, base_directory, local_profile_id, partner_profile_id, server_id, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Creates an agreement. An agreement is a bilateral trading partner agreement, or partnership, between an Transfer Family server and an AS2 process. The agreement defines the file and message transfer relationship between the server and the AS2 process. To define an agreement, Transfer Family combines a server, local profile, partner profile, certificate, and other attributes. The partner is identified with the PartnerProfileId, and the AS2 process is identified with the LocalProfileId.

Arguments

  • access_role: Connectors are used to send files using either the AS2 or SFTP protocol. For the access role, provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Identity and Access Management role to use. For AS2 connectors With AS2, you can send files by calling StartFileTransfer and specifying the file paths in the request parameter, SendFilePaths. We use the file’s parent directory (for example, for –send-file-paths /bucket/dir/file.txt, parent directory is /bucket/dir/) to temporarily store a processed AS2 message file, store the MDN when we receive them from the partner, and write a final JSON file containing relevant metadata of the transmission. So, the AccessRole needs to provide read and write access to the parent directory of the file location used in the StartFileTransfer request. Additionally, you need to provide read and write access to the parent directory of the files that you intend to send with StartFileTransfer. If you are using Basic authentication for your AS2 connector, the access role requires the secretsmanager:GetSecretValue permission for the secret. If the secret is encrypted using a customer-managed key instead of the Amazon Web Services managed key in Secrets Manager, then the role also needs the kms:Decrypt permission for that key. For SFTP connectors Make sure that the access role provides read and write access to the parent directory of the file location that's used in the StartFileTransfer request. Additionally, make sure that the role provides secretsmanager:GetSecretValue permission to Secrets Manager.
  • base_directory: The landing directory (folder) for files transferred by using the AS2 protocol. A BaseDirectory example is /DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET/home/mydirectory.
  • local_profile_id: A unique identifier for the AS2 local profile.
  • partner_profile_id: A unique identifier for the partner profile used in the agreement.
  • server_id: A system-assigned unique identifier for a server instance. This is the specific server that the agreement uses.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "Description": A name or short description to identify the agreement.
  • "Status": The status of the agreement. The agreement can be either ACTIVE or INACTIVE.
  • "Tags": Key-value pairs that can be used to group and search for agreements.

Main.Transfer.create_connectorMethod
create_connector(access_role, url)
create_connector(access_role, url, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Creates the connector, which captures the parameters for a connection for the AS2 or SFTP protocol. For AS2, the connector is required for sending files to an externally hosted AS2 server. For SFTP, the connector is required when sending files to an SFTP server or receiving files from an SFTP server. For more details about connectors, see Configure AS2 connectors and Create SFTP connectors. You must specify exactly one configuration object: either for AS2 (As2Config) or SFTP (SftpConfig).

Arguments

  • access_role: Connectors are used to send files using either the AS2 or SFTP protocol. For the access role, provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Identity and Access Management role to use. For AS2 connectors With AS2, you can send files by calling StartFileTransfer and specifying the file paths in the request parameter, SendFilePaths. We use the file’s parent directory (for example, for –send-file-paths /bucket/dir/file.txt, parent directory is /bucket/dir/) to temporarily store a processed AS2 message file, store the MDN when we receive them from the partner, and write a final JSON file containing relevant metadata of the transmission. So, the AccessRole needs to provide read and write access to the parent directory of the file location used in the StartFileTransfer request. Additionally, you need to provide read and write access to the parent directory of the files that you intend to send with StartFileTransfer. If you are using Basic authentication for your AS2 connector, the access role requires the secretsmanager:GetSecretValue permission for the secret. If the secret is encrypted using a customer-managed key instead of the Amazon Web Services managed key in Secrets Manager, then the role also needs the kms:Decrypt permission for that key. For SFTP connectors Make sure that the access role provides read and write access to the parent directory of the file location that's used in the StartFileTransfer request. Additionally, make sure that the role provides secretsmanager:GetSecretValue permission to Secrets Manager.
  • url: The URL of the partner's AS2 or SFTP endpoint.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "As2Config": A structure that contains the parameters for an AS2 connector object.
  • "LoggingRole": The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that allows a connector to turn on CloudWatch logging for Amazon S3 events. When set, you can view connector activity in your CloudWatch logs.
  • "SecurityPolicyName": Specifies the name of the security policy for the connector.
  • "SftpConfig": A structure that contains the parameters for an SFTP connector object.
  • "Tags": Key-value pairs that can be used to group and search for connectors. Tags are metadata attached to connectors for any purpose.
source
Main.Transfer.create_profileMethod
create_profile(as2_id, profile_type)
create_profile(as2_id, profile_type, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Creates the local or partner profile to use for AS2 transfers.

Arguments

  • as2_id: The As2Id is the AS2-name, as defined in the RFC 4130. For inbound transfers, this is the AS2-From header for the AS2 messages sent from the partner. For outbound connectors, this is the AS2-To header for the AS2 messages sent to the partner using the StartFileTransfer API operation. This ID cannot include spaces.
  • profile_type: Determines the type of profile to create: Specify LOCAL to create a local profile. A local profile represents the AS2-enabled Transfer Family server organization or party. Specify PARTNER to create a partner profile. A partner profile represents a remote organization, external to Transfer Family.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "CertificateIds": An array of identifiers for the imported certificates. You use this identifier for working with profiles and partner profiles.
  • "Tags": Key-value pairs that can be used to group and search for AS2 profiles.
source
Main.Transfer.create_serverMethod
create_server()
create_server(params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Instantiates an auto-scaling virtual server based on the selected file transfer protocol in Amazon Web Services. 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.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "Certificate": The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Certificate Manager (ACM) certificate. Required when Protocols is set to FTPS. To request a new public certificate, see Request a public certificate in the Certificate Manager User Guide. To import an existing certificate into ACM, see Importing certificates into ACM in the Certificate Manager User Guide. To request a private certificate to use FTPS through private IP addresses, see Request a private certificate in the Certificate Manager User Guide. Certificates with the following cryptographic algorithms and key sizes are supported: 2048-bit RSA (RSA2048) 4096-bit RSA (RSA4096) Elliptic Prime Curve 256 bit (ECprime256v1) Elliptic Prime Curve 384 bit (ECsecp384r1) Elliptic Prime Curve 521 bit (EC_secp521r1) 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": 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. After the server is created, the domain cannot be changed.
  • "EndpointDetails": The virtual private cloud (VPC) endpoint settings that are configured for your server. When you host your endpoint within your VPC, you can make your endpoint accessible only to resources within your VPC, or you can attach Elastic IP addresses and make your endpoint accessible to clients over the internet. Your VPC's default security groups are automatically assigned to your endpoint.
  • "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. After May 19, 2021, you won't be able to create a server using EndpointType=VPCENDPOINT 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=VPCENDPOINT 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 https://docs.aws.amazon.com/transfer/latest/userguide/create-server-in-vpc.html#deprecate-vp c-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.
  • "HostKey": The RSA, ECDSA, or ED25519 private key to use for your SFTP-enabled server. You can add multiple host keys, in case you want to rotate keys, or have a set of active keys that use different algorithms. Use the following command to generate an RSA 2048 bit key with no passphrase: ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -N "" -m PEM -f my-new-server-key. Use a minimum value of 2048 for the -b option. You can create a stronger key by using 3072 or
    1. Use the following command to generate an ECDSA 256 bit key with no passphrase:
    ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -b 256 -N "" -m PEM -f my-new-server-key. Valid values for the -b option for ECDSA are 256, 384, and 521. Use the following command to generate an ED25519 key with no passphrase: ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -N "" -f my-new-server-key. For all of these commands, you can replace my-new-server-key with a string of your choice. 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 Manage host keys for your SFTP-enabled server in the Transfer Family User Guide.
  • "IdentityProviderDetails": Required when IdentityProviderType is set to AWSDIRECTORYSERVICE, Amazon Web ServicesLAMBDA or APIGATEWAY. Accepts an array containing all of the information required to use a directory in AWSDIRECTORYSERVICE or invoke a customer-supplied authentication API, including the API Gateway URL. Not required when IdentityProviderType is set to SERVICE_MANAGED.
  • "IdentityProviderType": The mode of authentication for a server. The default value is SERVICEMANAGED, which allows you to store and access user credentials within the Transfer Family service. Use AWSDIRECTORYSERVICE to provide access to Active Directory groups in Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory or Microsoft Active Directory in your on-premises environment or in Amazon Web Services using AD Connector. This option also requires you to provide a Directory ID by using the IdentityProviderDetails parameter. Use the APIGATEWAY value to integrate with an identity provider of your choosing. The APIGATEWAY setting requires you to provide an Amazon API Gateway endpoint URL to call for authentication by using the IdentityProviderDetails parameter. Use the AWSLAMBDA value to directly use an Lambda function as your identity provider. If you choose this value, you must specify the ARN for the Lambda function in the Function parameter for the IdentityProviderDetails data type.
  • "LoggingRole": The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that allows a server to turn on Amazon CloudWatch logging for Amazon S3 or Amazon EFSevents. When set, you can view user activity in your CloudWatch logs.
  • "PostAuthenticationLoginBanner": Specifies a string to display when users connect to a server. This string is displayed after the user authenticates. The SFTP protocol does not support post-authentication display banners.
  • "PreAuthenticationLoginBanner": Specifies a string to display when users connect to a server. This string is displayed before the user authenticates. For example, the following banner displays details about using the system: This system is for the use of authorized users only. Individuals using this computer system without authority, or in excess of their authority, are subject to having all of their activities on this system monitored and recorded by system personnel.
  • "ProtocolDetails": The protocol settings that are configured for your server. To indicate passive mode (for FTP and FTPS protocols), use the PassiveIp parameter. Enter a single dotted-quad IPv4 address, such as the external IP address of a firewall, router, or load balancer. To ignore the error that is generated when the client attempts to use the SETSTAT command on a file that you are uploading to an Amazon S3 bucket, use the SetStatOption parameter. To have the Transfer Family server ignore the SETSTAT command and upload files without needing to make any changes to your SFTP client, set the value to ENABLENOOP. If you set the SetStatOption parameter to ENABLENOOP, Transfer Family generates a log entry to Amazon CloudWatch Logs, so that you can determine when the client is making a SETSTAT call. To determine whether your Transfer Family server resumes recent, negotiated sessions through a unique session ID, use the TlsSessionResumptionMode parameter. As2Transports indicates the transport method for the AS2 messages. Currently, only HTTP is supported.
  • "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: 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 AS2 (Applicability Statement 2): used for transporting structured business-to-business data If you select FTPS, you must choose a certificate stored in Certificate Manager (ACM) which is 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 either AWSDIRECTORYSERVICE, AWSLAMBDA, or APIGATEWAY. 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 any of the supported identity types: SERVICEMANAGED, AWSDIRECTORYSERVICE, AWSLAMBDA, or API_GATEWAY. If Protocol includes AS2, then the EndpointType must be VPC, and domain must be Amazon S3.
  • "S3StorageOptions": Specifies whether or not performance for your Amazon S3 directories is optimized. This is disabled by default. By default, home directory mappings have a TYPE of DIRECTORY. If you enable this option, you would then need to explicitly set the HomeDirectoryMapEntry Type to FILE if you want a mapping to have a file target.
  • "SecurityPolicyName": Specifies the name of the security policy for the server.
  • "StructuredLogDestinations": Specifies the log groups to which your server logs are sent. To specify a log group, you must provide the ARN for an existing log group. In this case, the format of the log group is as follows: arn:aws:logs:region-name:amazon-account-id:log-group:log-group-name:* For example, arn:aws:logs:us-east-1:111122223333:log-group:mytestgroup:* If you have previously specified a log group for a server, you can clear it, and in effect turn off structured logging, by providing an empty value for this parameter in an update-server call. For example: update-server –server-id s-1234567890abcdef0 –structured-log-destinations
  • "Tags": Key-value pairs that can be used to group and search for servers.
  • "WorkflowDetails": Specifies the workflow ID for the workflow to assign and the execution role that's used for executing the workflow. In addition to a workflow to execute when a file is uploaded completely, WorkflowDetails can also contain a workflow ID (and execution role) for a workflow to execute on partial upload. A partial upload occurs when the server session disconnects while the file is still being uploaded.
source
Main.Transfer.create_userMethod
create_user(role, server_id, user_name)
create_user(role, server_id, user_name, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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 Identity and Access Management (IAM) role. You can also optionally add a session policy, and assign metadata with tags that can be used to group and search for users.

Arguments

  • role: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that controls your users' access to your Amazon S3 bucket or Amazon 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 Amazon 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.
  • server_id: A system-assigned unique identifier for a server instance. This is the specific server that you added your user to.
  • user_name: A unique string that identifies a user and is associated with a 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.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "HomeDirectory": 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. The HomeDirectory parameter is only used if HomeDirectoryType is set to PATH.

You also must ensure that your Identity and Access Management (IAM) role provides access to paths in Target. This value can be set only when HomeDirectoryType is set to LOGICAL. The following is an Entry and Target pair example. [ { "Entry": "/directory1", "Target": "/bucketname/home/mydirectory" } ] In most cases, you can use this value instead of the session 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 value the user should see for their home directory when they log in. The following is an Entry and Target pair example for chroot. [ { "Entry": "/", "Target": "/bucketname/home/mydirectory" } ]
  • "HomeDirectoryType": The type of landing directory (folder) that you want your users' home directory to be when they log in to the server. If you set it to PATH, the user will see the absolute Amazon S3 bucket or Amazon EFS path as is in their file transfer protocol clients. If you set it to LOGICAL, you need to provide mappings in the HomeDirectoryMappings for how you want to make Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS paths visible to your users.

This policy scopes down a user's access to portions of their Amazon S3 bucket. Variables that you can use inside this policy include {Transfer:UserName}, {Transfer:HomeDirectory}, and {Transfer:HomeBucket}. This policy applies only when the domain of ServerId is Amazon S3. Amazon EFS does not use session policies. For session policies, 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 session policy, see Example session policy. For more information, see AssumeRole in the Amazon Web Services Security Token Service API Reference.
  • "PosixProfile": 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 EFS file systems. The POSIX permissions that are set on files and directories in Amazon EFS determine the level of access your users get when transferring files into and out of your Amazon EFS file systems.
  • "SshPublicKeyBody": The public portion of the Secure Shell (SSH) key used to authenticate the user to the server. The three standard SSH public key format elements are &lt;key type&gt;, &lt;body base64&gt;, and an optional &lt;comment&gt;, with spaces between each element. Transfer Family accepts RSA, ECDSA, and ED25519 keys. For RSA keys, the key type is ssh-rsa. For ED25519 keys, the key type is ssh-ed25519. For ECDSA keys, the key type is either ecdsa-sha2-nistp256, ecdsa-sha2-nistp384, or ecdsa-sha2-nistp521, depending on the size of the key you generated.
  • "Tags": Key-value pairs that can be used to group and search for users. Tags are metadata attached to users for any purpose.
source

COPY - Copy the file to another location. CUSTOM - Perform a custom step with an Lambda function target. DECRYPT - Decrypt a file that was encrypted before it was uploaded. DELETE - Delete the file. TAG - Add a tag to the file. Currently, copying and tagging are supported only on S3. For file location, you specify either the Amazon S3 bucket and key, or the Amazon EFS file system ID and path.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "Description": A textual description for the workflow.
  • "OnExceptionSteps": Specifies the steps (actions) to take if errors are encountered during execution of the workflow. For custom steps, the Lambda function needs to send FAILURE to the call back API to kick off the exception steps. Additionally, if the Lambda does not send SUCCESS before it times out, the exception steps are executed.
  • "Tags": Key-value pairs that can be used to group and search for workflows. Tags are metadata attached to workflows for any purpose.

The following is an Entry and Target pair example. [ { "Entry": "/directory1", "Target": "/bucketname/home/mydirectory" } ] In most cases, you can use this value instead of the session 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": "/bucketname/home/mydirectory" } ]
  • "HomeDirectoryType": The type of landing directory (folder) that you want your users' home directory to be when they log in to the server. If you set it to PATH, the user will see the absolute Amazon S3 bucket or Amazon EFS path as is in their file transfer protocol clients. If you set it to LOGICAL, you need to provide mappings in the HomeDirectoryMappings for how you want to make Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS paths visible to your users. If HomeDirectoryType is LOGICAL, you must provide mappings, using the HomeDirectoryMappings parameter. If, on the other hand, HomeDirectoryType is PATH, you provide an absolute path using the HomeDirectory parameter. You cannot have both HomeDirectory and HomeDirectoryMappings in your template.
  • "Policy": A session policy for your user so that you can use the same Identity and Access Management (IAM) role across multiple users. This policy scopes down a user's access to portions of their Amazon S3 bucket. Variables that you can use inside this policy include {Transfer:UserName}, {Transfer:HomeDirectory}, and {Transfer:HomeBucket}. This policy applies only when the domain of ServerId is Amazon S3. Amazon EFS does not use session policies. For session policies, 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 session policy, see Example session policy. For more information, see AssumeRole in the Amazon Web ServicesSecurity Token Service API Reference.
  • "PosixProfile":
  • "Role": The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that controls your users' access to your Amazon S3 bucket or Amazon 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 Amazon 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.

Main.Transfer.update_agreementMethod
update_agreement(agreement_id, server_id)
update_agreement(agreement_id, server_id, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Updates some of the parameters for an existing agreement. Provide the AgreementId and the ServerId for the agreement that you want to update, along with the new values for the parameters to update.

Arguments

  • agreement_id: A unique identifier for the agreement. This identifier is returned when you create an agreement.
  • server_id: A system-assigned unique identifier for a server instance. This is the specific server that the agreement uses.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "AccessRole": Connectors are used to send files using either the AS2 or SFTP protocol. For the access role, provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Identity and Access Management role to use. For AS2 connectors With AS2, you can send files by calling StartFileTransfer and specifying the file paths in the request parameter, SendFilePaths. We use the file’s parent directory (for example, for –send-file-paths /bucket/dir/file.txt, parent directory is /bucket/dir/) to temporarily store a processed AS2 message file, store the MDN when we receive them from the partner, and write a final JSON file containing relevant metadata of the transmission. So, the AccessRole needs to provide read and write access to the parent directory of the file location used in the StartFileTransfer request. Additionally, you need to provide read and write access to the parent directory of the files that you intend to send with StartFileTransfer. If you are using Basic authentication for your AS2 connector, the access role requires the secretsmanager:GetSecretValue permission for the secret. If the secret is encrypted using a customer-managed key instead of the Amazon Web Services managed key in Secrets Manager, then the role also needs the kms:Decrypt permission for that key. For SFTP connectors Make sure that the access role provides read and write access to the parent directory of the file location that's used in the StartFileTransfer request. Additionally, make sure that the role provides secretsmanager:GetSecretValue permission to Secrets Manager.
  • "BaseDirectory": To change the landing directory (folder) for files that are transferred, provide the bucket folder that you want to use; for example, /DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET/home/mydirectory .
  • "Description": To replace the existing description, provide a short description for the agreement.
  • "LocalProfileId": A unique identifier for the AS2 local profile. To change the local profile identifier, provide a new value here.
  • "PartnerProfileId": A unique identifier for the partner profile. To change the partner profile identifier, provide a new value here.
  • "Status": You can update the status for the agreement, either activating an inactive agreement or the reverse.

Arguments

  • connector_id: The unique identifier for the connector.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "AccessRole": Connectors are used to send files using either the AS2 or SFTP protocol. For the access role, provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Identity and Access Management role to use. For AS2 connectors With AS2, you can send files by calling StartFileTransfer and specifying the file paths in the request parameter, SendFilePaths. We use the file’s parent directory (for example, for –send-file-paths /bucket/dir/file.txt, parent directory is /bucket/dir/) to temporarily store a processed AS2 message file, store the MDN when we receive them from the partner, and write a final JSON file containing relevant metadata of the transmission. So, the AccessRole needs to provide read and write access to the parent directory of the file location used in the StartFileTransfer request. Additionally, you need to provide read and write access to the parent directory of the files that you intend to send with StartFileTransfer. If you are using Basic authentication for your AS2 connector, the access role requires the secretsmanager:GetSecretValue permission for the secret. If the secret is encrypted using a customer-managed key instead of the Amazon Web Services managed key in Secrets Manager, then the role also needs the kms:Decrypt permission for that key. For SFTP connectors Make sure that the access role provides read and write access to the parent directory of the file location that's used in the StartFileTransfer request. Additionally, make sure that the role provides secretsmanager:GetSecretValue permission to Secrets Manager.
  • "As2Config": A structure that contains the parameters for an AS2 connector object.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "Certificate": The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Amazon Web ServicesCertificate Manager (ACM) certificate. Required when Protocols is set to FTPS. To request a new public certificate, see Request a public certificate in the Amazon Web ServicesCertificate Manager User Guide. To import an existing certificate into ACM, see Importing certificates into ACM in the Amazon Web ServicesCertificate Manager User Guide. To request a private certificate to use FTPS through private IP addresses, see Request a private certificate in the Amazon Web ServicesCertificate Manager User Guide. Certificates with the following cryptographic algorithms and key sizes are supported: 2048-bit RSA (RSA2048) 4096-bit RSA (RSA4096) Elliptic Prime Curve 256 bit (ECprime256v1) Elliptic Prime Curve 384 bit (ECsecp384r1) Elliptic Prime Curve 521 bit (EC_secp521r1) 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": The virtual private cloud (VPC) endpoint settings that are configured for your server. When you host your endpoint within your VPC, you can make your endpoint accessible only to resources within your VPC, or you can attach Elastic IP addresses and make your endpoint accessible to clients over the internet. Your VPC's default security groups are automatically assigned to your endpoint.
  • "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. After May 19, 2021, you won't be able to create a server using EndpointType=VPCENDPOINT 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=VPCENDPOINT 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-vp c-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.
  • "HostKey": The RSA, ECDSA, or ED25519 private key to use for your SFTP-enabled server. You can add multiple host keys, in case you want to rotate keys, or have a set of active keys that use different algorithms. Use the following command to generate an RSA 2048 bit key with no passphrase: ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -N "" -m PEM -f my-new-server-key. Use a minimum value of 2048 for the -b option. You can create a stronger key by using 3072 or
    1. Use the following command to generate an ECDSA 256 bit key with no passphrase:
    ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -b 256 -N "" -m PEM -f my-new-server-key. Valid values for the -b option for ECDSA are 256, 384, and 521. Use the following command to generate an ED25519 key with no passphrase: ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -N "" -f my-new-server-key. For all of these commands, you can replace my-new-server-key with a string of your choice. 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 Manage host keys for your SFTP-enabled server in the Transfer Family User Guide.
  • "IdentityProviderDetails": An array containing all of the information required to call a customer's authentication API method.
  • "LoggingRole": The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that allows a server to turn on Amazon CloudWatch logging for Amazon S3 or Amazon EFSevents. When set, you can view user activity in your CloudWatch logs.
  • "PostAuthenticationLoginBanner": Specifies a string to display when users connect to a server. This string is displayed after the user authenticates. The SFTP protocol does not support post-authentication display banners.
  • "PreAuthenticationLoginBanner": Specifies a string to display when users connect to a server. This string is displayed before the user authenticates. For example, the following banner displays details about using the system: This system is for the use of authorized users only. Individuals using this computer system without authority, or in excess of their authority, are subject to having all of their activities on this system monitored and recorded by system personnel.
  • "ProtocolDetails": The protocol settings that are configured for your server. To indicate passive mode (for FTP and FTPS protocols), use the PassiveIp parameter. Enter a single dotted-quad IPv4 address, such as the external IP address of a firewall, router, or load balancer. To ignore the error that is generated when the client attempts to use the SETSTAT command on a file that you are uploading to an Amazon S3 bucket, use the SetStatOption parameter. To have the Transfer Family server ignore the SETSTAT command and upload files without needing to make any changes to your SFTP client, set the value to ENABLENOOP. If you set the SetStatOption parameter to ENABLENOOP, Transfer Family generates a log entry to Amazon CloudWatch Logs, so that you can determine when the client is making a SETSTAT call. To determine whether your Transfer Family server resumes recent, negotiated sessions through a unique session ID, use the TlsSessionResumptionMode parameter. As2Transports indicates the transport method for the AS2 messages. Currently, only HTTP is supported.
  • "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: 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 AS2 (Applicability Statement 2): used for transporting structured business-to-business data If you select FTPS, you must choose a certificate stored in Certificate Manager (ACM) which is 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 either AWSDIRECTORYSERVICE, AWSLAMBDA, or APIGATEWAY. 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 any of the supported identity types: SERVICEMANAGED, AWSDIRECTORYSERVICE, AWSLAMBDA, or API_GATEWAY. If Protocol includes AS2, then the EndpointType must be VPC, and domain must be Amazon S3.
  • "S3StorageOptions": Specifies whether or not performance for your Amazon S3 directories is optimized. This is disabled by default. By default, home directory mappings have a TYPE of DIRECTORY. If you enable this option, you would then need to explicitly set the HomeDirectoryMapEntry Type to FILE if you want a mapping to have a file target.
  • "SecurityPolicyName": Specifies the name of the security policy for the server.
  • "StructuredLogDestinations": Specifies the log groups to which your server logs are sent. To specify a log group, you must provide the ARN for an existing log group. In this case, the format of the log group is as follows: arn:aws:logs:region-name:amazon-account-id:log-group:log-group-name:* For example, arn:aws:logs:us-east-1:111122223333:log-group:mytestgroup:* If you have previously specified a log group for a server, you can clear it, and in effect turn off structured logging, by providing an empty value for this parameter in an update-server call. For example: update-server –server-id s-1234567890abcdef0 –structured-log-destinations
  • "WorkflowDetails": Specifies the workflow ID for the workflow to assign and the execution role that's used for executing the workflow. In addition to a workflow to execute when a file is uploaded completely, WorkflowDetails can also contain a workflow ID (and execution role) for a workflow to execute on partial upload. A partial upload occurs when the server session disconnects while the file is still being uploaded. To remove an associated workflow from a server, you can provide an empty OnUpload object, as in the following example. aws transfer update-server –server-id s-01234567890abcdef –workflow-details '{"OnUpload":[]}'
source
Main.Transfer.update_userMethod
update_user(server_id, user_name)
update_user(server_id, user_name, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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. In the console, you can select Restricted when you create or update a user. This ensures that the user can't access anything outside of their home directory. The programmatic way to configure this behavior is to update the user. Set their HomeDirectoryType to LOGICAL, and specify HomeDirectoryMappings with Entry as root (/) and Target as their home directory. For example, if the user's home directory is /test/admin-user, the following command updates the user so that their configuration in the console shows the Restricted flag as selected. aws transfer update-user –server-id &lt;server-id&gt; –user-name admin-user –home-directory-type LOGICAL –home-directory-mappings "[{"Entry":"/", "Target":"/test/admin-user"}]"

Arguments

  • server_id: A system-assigned unique identifier for a Transfer Family server instance that the user is assigned to.
  • user_name: 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.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "HomeDirectory": 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. The HomeDirectory parameter is only used if HomeDirectoryType is set to PATH.
  • "HomeDirectoryMappings": 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 is displayed as is. You also must ensure that your Identity and Access Management (IAM) role provides access to paths in Target. This value can be set only when HomeDirectoryType is set to LOGICAL. The following is an Entry and Target pair example. [ { "Entry": "/directory1", "Target": "/bucketname/home/mydirectory" } ] In most cases, you can use this value instead of the session 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": "/bucketname/home/mydirectory" } ]
  • "HomeDirectoryType": The type of landing directory (folder) that you want your users' home directory to be when they log in to the server. If you set it to PATH, the user will see the absolute Amazon S3 bucket or Amazon EFS path as is in their file transfer protocol clients. If you set it to LOGICAL, you need to provide mappings in the HomeDirectoryMappings for how you want to make Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS paths visible to your users. If HomeDirectoryType is LOGICAL, you must provide mappings, using the HomeDirectoryMappings parameter. If, on the other hand, HomeDirectoryType is PATH, you provide an absolute path using the HomeDirectory parameter. You cannot have both HomeDirectory and HomeDirectoryMappings in your template.
  • "Policy": A session policy for your user so that you can use the same Identity and Access Management (IAM) role across multiple users. This policy scopes down a user's access to portions of their Amazon S3 bucket. Variables that you can use inside this policy include {Transfer:UserName}, {Transfer:HomeDirectory}, and {Transfer:HomeBucket}. This policy applies only when the domain of ServerId is Amazon S3. Amazon EFS does not use session policies. For session policies, 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 session policy, see Creating a session policy. For more information, see AssumeRole in the Amazon Web Services Security Token Service API Reference.
  • "PosixProfile": 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.
  • "Role": The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that controls your users' access to your Amazon S3 bucket or Amazon 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 Amazon 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.
