AWS SDK for PHP 3.x

Service ID: transfer

Version: 2018-11-05

This page describes the parameters and results for the operations of the AWS Transfer for SFTP (2018-11-05), and shows how to use the Aws\Transfer\TransferClient object to call the described operations. This documentation is specific to the 2018-11-05 API version of the service.

Operation Summary

Each of the following operations can be created from a client using $client->getCommand('CommandName'), where "CommandName" is the name of one of the following operations. Note: a command is a value that encapsulates an operation and the parameters used to create an HTTP request.

You can also create and send a command immediately using the magic methods available on a client object: $client->commandName(/* parameters */). You can send the command asynchronously (returning a promise) by appending the word "Async" to the operation name: $client->commandNameAsync(/* parameters */).

Operations

CreateServer

$result = $client->createServer([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createServerAsync([/* ... */]);

Instantiates an autoscaling virtual server based on Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) in AWS. The call returns the ServerId property assigned by the service to the newly created server. Reference this ServerId property when you make updates to your server, or work with users.

The response returns the ServerId value for the newly created server.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->createServer([
    'IdentityProviderDetails' => [
        'InvocationRole' => '<string>',
        'Url' => '<string>',
    ],
    'IdentityProviderType' => 'SERVICE_MANAGED|API_GATEWAY',
    'LoggingRole' => '<string>',
    'Tags' => [
        [
            'Key' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
            'Value' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
        ],
        // ...
    ],
]);

Parameter Details

Members

IdentityProviderDetails

Type: IdentityProviderDetails structure

An array containing all of the information required to call a customer-supplied authentication API. This parameter is not required when the IdentityProviderType value of server that is created uses the SERVICE_MANAGED authentication method.

IdentityProviderType

Type: string

The mode of authentication enabled for this service. The default value is SERVICE_MANAGED, which allows you to store and access SFTP user credentials within the service. An IdentityProviderType value of API_GATEWAY indicates that user authentication requires a call to an API Gateway endpoint URL provided by you to integrate an identity provider of your choice.

LoggingRole

Type: string

A value that allows the service to write your SFTP users’ activity to your Amazon CloudWatch logs for monitoring and auditing purposes.

Tags

Type: Array of Tag structures

Key-value pairs that can be used to group and search for servers.

Result Syntax

[
    'ServerId' => '<string>',
]

Result Details

Members

ServerId

Required: Yes
Type: string

The service-assigned ID of the SFTP server that is created.

Errors

ServiceUnavailableException:
The request has failed because the AWS Transfer for SFTP service is not available.
InternalServiceError:
This exception is thrown when an error occurs in the AWS Transfer for SFTP service.
InvalidRequestException:
This exception is thrown when the client submits a malformed request.

CreateUser

$result = $client->createUser([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createUserAsync([/* ... */]);

Adds a user and associate them with an existing Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) server. Using parameters for CreateUser, you can specify the user name, set the home directory, store the user's public key, and assign the user's AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role. You can also optionally add a scope-down policy, and assign metadata with tags that can be used to group and search for users.

The response returns the UserName and ServerId values of the new user for that server.
