Prerequisites
The following sections describe the prerequisites required to use the AWS Transfer Family service. At a minimum, you need to create an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket and provide access to that bucket through an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role. Your role also needs to establish a trust relationship. This trust relationship allows Transfer Family to assume the IAM role to access your bucket so that it can service your users' file transfer requests.

Supported AWS Regions, endpoints and quotas
To connect programmatically to an AWS service, you use an endpoint. For example, the
endpoint for customers in US East (Ohio) region (us-east-2), is
transfer.us-east-2.amazonaws.com. Service quotas, also referred
to as limits, are the maximum number of service resources or operations for your
AWS account. In this guide, you can find quotas in AS2 quotas and Quotas for SFTP connectors.
For more information about supported AWS Regions, endpoints, and service quotas, see AWS Transfer Family endpoints and quotas in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.
