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, enabled if not found. 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
