Introduction

A demo application illustrating the use of the AWS Transfer API with LocalStack. The sample creates a local FTP server via the Transfer API, uploads files via FTP, and downloads the uploaded files from the target S3 bucket.

Prerequisites

• A valid LocalStack for AWS license. Your license provides a LOCALSTACK_AUTH_TOKEN to activate LocalStack.
• Docker
• localstack CLI
• awslocal CLI

Check prerequisites

make check

Installation

make install

Start LocalStack

export LOCALSTACK_AUTH_TOKEN=<your-auth-token>
make start

Run the application

make run

The script creates an FTP server via the AWS Transfer API, uploads two files (to root and a sub-directory), then downloads and verifies them from the target S3 bucket.

You should then see log messages similar to:
