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 security groups that provide access to your file system's preferred subnet.

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" "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 (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI 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.

--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. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
