rest-api-cli

REST API CLI client

sftpgo_api_cli.py is a very simple command line client for SFTPGo REST API written in python.

It has the following requirements:

• python3 or python2
• python Requests module
• Optionally, if the python module Pygments 1.5 or above is installed, the JSON responses will be highlighted with colors.

You can see the usage with the following command:

python sftpgo_api_cli.py --help

and

python sftpgo_api_cli.py [sub-command] --help

Basically there is a sub command for each REST API and the following global arguments:

• -d, --debug, default disabled, print useful debug info.
• -b, --base-url, default http://127.0.0.1:8080. Base URL for SFTPGo REST API
• -a, --auth-type, HTTP auth type. Supported HTTP auth type are basic and digest. Default none
• -u, --auth-user, user for HTTP authentication
• -p, --auth-password, password for HTTP authentication
• -i, --insecure, enable to ignore verifying the SSL certificate. Default disabled
• -t, --no-color, disable color highligth for JSON responses. You need python pygments module 1.5 or above for this to work. Default disabled if pygments is found and you aren't on Windows, otherwise enabled.
• -c, --color, enable color highligth for JSON responses. You need python pygments module 1.5 or above for this to work. Default enabled if pygments is found and you aren't on Windows, otherwise disabled. Please read the note at the end of this doc for colors in Windows command prompt.

For each subcommand --help shows the available arguments, try for example:

python sftpgo_api_cli.py add_user --help

Additionally it can convert users to the SFTPGo format from some supported users stores

Let's see a sample usage for each REST API.

Add user

Convert users from other stores

You can convert users to the SFTPGo format from the following users stores:

• Linux users stored in shadow/passwd files
• Pure-FTPd virtual users generated using pure-pw CLI
• ProFTPD users generated using ftpasswd CLI

For details give a look at the convert-users subcommand usage:

python sftpgo_api_cli.py convert-users --help

Let's see some examples:

python sftpgo_api_cli.py convert-users "" unix-passwd unix_users.json --min-uid 500 --force-uid 1000 --force-gid 1000

python sftpgo_api_cli.py convert-users pureftpd.passwd pure-ftpd pure_users.json --usernames "user1" "user2"

python sftpgo_api_cli.py convert-users proftpd.passwd proftpd pro_users.json

The json file generated using the convert-users subcommand can be used as input for the loaddata subcommand.

Please note that when importing Linux/Unix users the input file is not required: /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow are automatically parsed. /etc/shadow read permission is is typically granted to the root user, so you need to execute the convert-users subcommand as root.

Colors highlight for Windows command prompt

If your Windows command prompt does not recognize ANSI/VT100 escape sequences you can download ANSICON extract proper files depending on your Windows OS, and install them using ansicon -i. Thats all. From now on, your Windows command prompt will be aware of ANSI colors.
