import boto3
client = boto3.client('transfer')
These are the available methods:
Check if an operation can be paginated.
Instantiates an autoscaling virtual server based on Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) in AWS. The call returns the ServerId property assigned by the service to the newly created server. Reference this ServerId property when you make updates to your server, or work with users.
