Syntax

To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

JSON

{ "Type" : "AWS::Transfer::Connector", "Properties" : { "AccessRole" : String, "As2Config" : As2Config, "LoggingRole" : String, "Tags" : [ Tag, ... ], "Url" : String } }

YAML

Type: AWS::Transfer::Connector Properties: AccessRole: String As2Config: As2Config LoggingRole: String Tags: - Tag Url: String

Properties

AccessRole

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.
