Options

--subdirectory (string)

Specifies a mount path for your file system using forward slashes. This is where DataSync reads or writes data (depending on if this is a source or destination location).

--fsx-filesystem-arn (string)

Specifies the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the FSx for Windows File Server file system.

--security-group-arns (list)

Specifies the ARNs of the Amazon EC2 security groups that provide access to your file system’s preferred subnet.

The security groups that you specify must be able to communicate with your file system’s security groups. For information about configuring security groups for file system access, see the ` Amazon FSx for Windows File Server User Guide https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/WindowsGuide/limit-access-security-groups.html`__ .

Note

If you choose a security group that doesn’t allow connections from within itself, do one of the following:

  • Configure the security group to allow it to communicate within itself.
  • Choose a different security group that can communicate with the mount target’s security group.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--tags (list)

Specifies labels that help you categorize, filter, and search for your Amazon Web Services resources. We recommend creating at least a name tag for your location.

(structure)

A key-value pair representing a single tag that’s been applied to an Amazon Web Services resource.

Key -> (string)

The key for an Amazon Web Services resource tag.

Value -> (string)

The value for an Amazon Web Services resource tag.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--user (string)

Specifies the user with the permissions to mount and access the files, folders, and file metadata in your FSx for Windows File Server file system.

For information about choosing a user with the right level of access for your transfer, see required permissions for FSx for Windows File Server locations.

--domain (string)

Specifies the name of the Microsoft Active Directory domain that the FSx for Windows File Server file system belongs to.

If you have multiple Active Directory domains in your environment, configuring this parameter makes sure that DataSync connects to the right file system.

--password (string)

Specifies the password of the user with the permissions to mount and access the files, folders, and file metadata in your FSx for Windows File Server file system.

--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. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--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

LocationArn -> (string)

The ARN of the FSx for Windows File Server file system location you created.
