Options¶

--home-directory (string)

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 .

--home-directory-type (string)

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 EFS paths as is in their file transfer protocol clients. If you set it 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.

Possible values:

PATH

LOGICAL

--home-directory-mappings (list)

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": "/bucket_name/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": "/bucket_name/home/mydirectory" } ]

(structure)

Represents an object that contains entries and targets for HomeDirectoryMappings .

The following is an Entry and Target pair example for chroot .

[ { "Entry": "/", "Target": "/bucket_name/home/mydirectory" } ]

Entry -> (string)

Represents an entry for HomeDirectoryMappings .

Target -> (string)

Represents the map target that is used in a HomeDirectorymapEntry .

Shorthand Syntax:

Entry=string,Target=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Entry": "string",
    "Target": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--policy (string)

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} .

Note

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 .

--posix-profile (structure)

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 your file system determine the level of access your users get when transferring files into and out of your Amazon EFS file systems.

Uid -> (long)

The POSIX user ID used for all EFS operations by this user.

Gid -> (long)

The POSIX group ID used for all EFS operations by this user.

SecondaryGids -> (list)

The secondary POSIX group IDs used for all EFS operations by this user.

(long)

Shorthand Syntax:

Uid=long,Gid=long,SecondaryGids=long,long

JSON Syntax:

{
  "Uid": long,
  "Gid": long,
  "SecondaryGids": [long, ...]
}

--role (string)

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 (string)

A system-assigned unique identifier for a server instance. This is the specific server that you added your user to.

--external-id (string)

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: =,.@:/-

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options¶

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

json
text
table
yaml
yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

on
off
auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

base64
raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

Output¶

ServerId -> (string)

The identifier of the server that the user is attached to.

ExternalId -> (string)

The external identifier of the group whose users have access to your Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS resources over the enabled protocols using Amazon Web ServicesTransfer Family.
