View a list of servers

On the AWS Transfer Family console, you can find a list of all your servers that are located in the AWS Region that you chose.

To find a list of your servers that exist in an AWS Region

• Open the AWS Transfer Family console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/transfer/.

  If you have one or more servers in the current AWS Region, the console opens to show a list of your servers. If you don't see a list of servers, make sure that you are in the correct Region. You can also choose Servers from the navigation pane.

  For more information about viewing your server details, see View SFTP, FTPS, and FTP server details.

Delete a server

This procedure explains how to delete a Transfer Family server by using the AWS Transfer Family console or AWS CLI.

Important

You are billed, for each of the protocols enabled to access your endpoint, until you delete the server.

Warning

Deleting a server results in all its users being deleted. Data in the bucket that was accessed by using the server is not deleted, and remains accessible to AWS users that have privileges to those Amazon S3 buckets.

Console

To delete a server by using the console

1. Open the AWS Transfer Family console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/transfer/.

2. In the left navigation pane, choose Servers.

3. Select the check box of the server that you want to delete.

4. For Actions, choose Delete.

5. In the confirmation dialog box that appears, enter the word delete, and then choose Delete to confirm that you want to delete the server.

The server is deleted from the Servers page and you are no longer billed for it.

AWS CLI

To delete a server by using the CLI

1. (Optional) Run the following command to view the details for the server that you want to delete permanently.

   aws transfer describe-server --server-id your-server-id

   This describe-server command returns all of the details for your server.

2. Run the following command to delete the server.

   aws transfer delete-server --server-id your-server-id

If successful, the command deletes the server and does not return any information.
