Transfer¶
Client¶
- class Transfer.Client¶
A low-level client representing AWS Transfer Family
Transfer Family offers fully managed support for the transfer of files over SFTP, AS2, FTPS, FTP, and web browser-based transfers directly into and out of Amazon Web Services storage services.
File transfer protocols are used in data exchange workflows across different industries such as financial services, healthcare, advertising, and retail, among others. Transfer Family simplifies the migration of file transfer workflows to Amazon Web Services.
To use the Transfer Family service, you instantiate a server in the Amazon Web Services Region of your choice. You can create the server, list available servers, and update and delete servers. The server is the entity that requests file operations from Transfer Family. Servers have a number of important properties. The server is a named instance as identified by a system assigned
ServerIdidentifier. You can optionally assign a hostname, or even a custom hostname to a server. The service bills for any instantiated servers (even onesOFFLINE), and for the amount of data transferred.Users must be known to the server that requests file operations. A user as identified by their username is assigned to a server. Usernames are used to authenticate requests. A server can have only one authentication method:
AWS_DIRECTORY_SERVICE,SERVICE_MANAGED,AWS_LAMBDA, orAPI_GATEWAY.Transfer Family also supports web applications that provide browser-based file transfer capabilities. Web applications can be configured with VPC endpoints to enable secure, private connectivity within your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). This allows you to control network access and route traffic through your VPC infrastructure while maintaining the managed benefits of Transfer Family.

Note
Rather than actually running a command, you can use the
--generate-cli-skeletonparameter with any API call to generate and display a parameter template. You can then use the generated template to customize and use as input on a later command. For details, see Generate and use a parameter skeleton file.client = session.create_client('transfer')
