Manage SFTP connectors

This topic describes how to view and update SFTP connectors, and lists quotas that are relevant for SFTP connectors.

Note

Each connector is automatically assigned static IP addresses that remain unchanged over the lifetime of the connector. This allows you to connect with remote SFTP servers that only accept inbound connections from known IP addresses. Your connectors are assigned a set of static IP addresses that are shared by all connectors using the same protocol (SFTP or AS2) in your AWS account.

Update SFTP connectors

To change the existing parameter values for your connectors, you can run the update-connector command. The following command updates the secret for the connector connector-id, in the Region region-id to secret-ARN. To use this example command, replace the user input placeholders with your own information.

aws transfer update-connector --sftp-config '{"UserSecretId":"secret-ARN"}' \
   --connector-id connector-id --region region-id

View SFTP connector details

You can find a list of details and properties for an SFTP connector in the AWS Transfer Family console.

To view connector details

  1. Open the AWS Transfer Family console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/transfer/.

  2. In the left navigation pane, choose Connectors.

  3. Choose the identifier in the Connector ID column to see the details page for the selected connector.

You can change the properties for the SFTP connector by choosing Edit on the connector details page.

Note

You can get much of this information, albeit in a different format, by running the following AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) command. To use this example command, replace the user input placeholders with your own information. 

aws transfer describe-connector --connector-id your-connector-id
