""

Remarks

The ID of the pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

Asynchronous DCAuth-driven communication requires that parties authenticate each other with a secret pre-shared cryptographic key. This provides extra protection layer for the protocol and diminishes the risk of private key becoming abused by foreign parties. Use this property to provide the pre-shared key identifier, and use external_crypto_key_secret to pass the key itself.

The same KeyID/KeySecret pair should be used on the DCAuth side for the signing requests to be accepted.

Note: The KeyID/KeySecret scheme is very similar to the AuthKey scheme used in various Cloud service providers to authenticate users.

Example: signer.ExternalCrypto.KeyID = "MainSigningKey"; signer.ExternalCrypto.KeySecret = "abcdef0123456789";

external_crypto_key_secret Property

The pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

Syntax

def get_external_crypto_key_secret() -> str: ...

on_connect Event

This event is fired when a remote connection has been established.

Syntax

class SFTPServerConnectEventParams(object):
  @property
  def connection_id() -> int: ...

  @property
  def remote_address() -> str: ...

  @property
  def remote_port() -> int: ...

# In class SFTPServer:
@property
def on_connect() -> Callable[[SFTPServerConnectEventParams], None]: ...
@on_connect.setter
def on_connect(event_hook: Callable[[SFTPServerConnectEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

ConnectionID contains a session identifier, and RemoteAddress specifies the client's IP address.

on_create_directory Event

This event instructs the application to create a directory.

Syntax

class SFTPServerCreateDirectoryEventParams(object):
  @property
  def connection_id() -> int: ...

  @property
  def path() -> str: ...

  @property
  def operation_status() -> int: ...
  @operation_status.setter
  def operation_status(value) -> None: ...

# In class SFTPServer:
@property
def on_create_directory() -> Callable[[SFTPServerCreateDirectoryEventParams], None]: ...
@on_create_directory.setter
def on_create_directory(event_hook: Callable[[SFTPServerCreateDirectoryEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

This event is fired when a request to create a directory has been received and needs to be served (virtualized) by the application. The ConnectionID parameter specifies the session that has communicated the request, and Path contains the name of the directory to be created.

Set OperationStatus to one of the below values according to the outcome of the request processing:

on_disconnect Event

This event is fired when a client has disconnected.

Syntax

class SFTPServerDisconnectEventParams(object):
  @property
  def connection_id() -> int: ...

# In class SFTPServer:
@property
def on_disconnect() -> Callable[[SFTPServerDisconnectEventParams], None]: ...
@on_disconnect.setter
def on_disconnect(event_hook: Callable[[SFTPServerDisconnectEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

This event reports loss of connection to the client within the session specified by ConnectionID.

on_error Event

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

class SFTPServerErrorEventParams(object):
  @property
  def error_code() -> int: ...

  @property
  def description() -> str: ...

# In class SFTPServer:
@property
def on_error() -> Callable[[SFTPServerErrorEventParams], None]: ...
@on_error.setter
def on_error(event_hook: Callable[[SFTPServerErrorEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

The event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing.

ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the SFTP section.

on_external_sign Event

Handles remote or external signing initiated by the server protocol.

Syntax

class SFTPServerExternalSignEventParams(object):
  @property
  def connection_id() -> int: ...

  @property
  def operation_id() -> str: ...

  @property
  def hash_algorithm() -> str: ...

  @property
  def pars() -> str: ...

  @property
  def data() -> str: ...

  @property
  def signed_data() -> str: ...
  @signed_data.setter
  def signed_data(value) -> None: ...

# In class SFTPServer:
@property
def on_external_sign() -> Callable[[SFTPServerExternalSignEventParams], None]: ...
@on_external_sign.setter
def on_external_sign(event_hook: Callable[[SFTPServerExternalSignEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

Assign a handler to this event if you need to delegate a low-level signing operation to an external, remote, or custom signing engine. Depending on the settings, the handler will receive a hashed or unhashed value to be signed.

The event handler must pass the value of Data to the signer, obtain the signature, and pass it back to the component via SignedData parameter.

OperationId provides a comment about the operation and its origin. It depends on the exact component being used, and may be empty. HashAlgorithm specifies the hash algorithm being used for the operation, and Pars contain algorithm-dependent parameters.

The component uses base16 (hex) encoding for Data, SignedData, and Pars parameters. If your signing engine uses a different input and output encoding, you may need to decode and/or encode the data before and/or after the signing.

A sample MD5 hash encoded in base16: a0dee2a0382afbb09120ffa7ccd8a152 - lower case base16 A0DEE2A0382AFBB09120FFA7CCD8A152 - upper case base16

A sample event handler that uses a .NET RSACryptoServiceProvider class may look like the following: signer.OnExternalSign += (s, e) => { var cert = new X509Certificate2("cert.pfx", "", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable); var key = (RSACryptoServiceProvider)cert.PrivateKey; var dataToSign = e.Data.FromBase16String(); var signedData = key.SignHash(dataToSign, "2.16.840.1.101.3.4.2.1"); e.SignedData = signedData.ToBase16String(); };

on_find_close Event

This event signifies the completion of a custom file listing operation.

Syntax

class SFTPServerFindCloseEventParams(object):
  @property
  def connection_id() -> int: ...

  @property
  def handle() -> str: ...

  @property
  def operation_status() -> int: ...
  @operation_status.setter
  def operation_status(value) -> None: ...

# In class SFTPServer:
@property
def on_find_close() -> Callable[[SFTPServerFindCloseEventParams], None]: ...
@on_find_close.setter
def on_find_close(event_hook: Callable[[SFTPServerFindCloseEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

on_find_close notifies your code about the completion of a custom file listing request. Use it in conjunction with on_find_first and on_find_next to handle file listing requests manually.

See on_find_first topic for the details on implementing customized file listing request processing.

Set OperationStatus to one of the below values according to the outcome of the request processing:

on_find_first Event

This event signifies the start of the custom file listing retrieval mechanism.

Syntax

class SFTPServerFindFirstEventParams(object):
  @property
  def connection_id() -> int: ...

  @property
  def path() -> str: ...

  @property
  def operation_status() -> int: ...
  @operation_status.setter
  def operation_status(value) -> None: ...

  @property
  def handle() -> str: ...
  @handle.setter
  def handle(value) -> None: ...

# In class SFTPServer:
@property
def on_find_first() -> Callable[[SFTPServerFindFirstEventParams], None]: ...
@on_find_first.setter
def on_find_first(event_hook: Callable[[SFTPServerFindFirstEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

on_find_first, on_find_next, and on_find_close events represent a mechanism for providing customized file listings to class. They are only fired if Action parameter of the preceding on_before_find event was set to fraCustom.

The behaviour of these events mimics that of the standard FindFirst/FindNext/FindClose functions found in many operating systems/frameworks. on_find_first fires once to request the first list entry; on_find_next then fires continuously in a loop to request all subsequent entries. To indicate that the listing is over, set OperationStatus parameter to ostEOF. Not doing so may lead to an endless loop and session freeze, as the component would continue firing on_find_next infinitely waiting for the EOF marker.

The handlers for both on_find_first and on_find_next events should be implemented in the following way: if there are more entries in the directory to pass back to the server component,

• set OperationStatus to ostOK,
• fill in client_file_entry with the details of the next entry,
• commit the entry to the server using set_client_file_entry method.

When all the entries from the requested directory have been passed to the server component, set OperationStatus to ostEOF. The server will then fire on_find_close event to notify your code that the file listing is completed.

Use the by-ref Handle parameter to assign a handle (a unique identifier) to the file listing procedure inside the on_find_first event handler. This identifier will then be passed to all subsequent on_find_next and on_find_close calls to let your code chain the events together.

The ConnectionID parameter specifies in which SFTP session the request was received, and Path indicates the requested directory.

The following operation status constants are available, besides the ones referenced above:

on_find_next Event

This event retrieves the next entry of a custom file listing.

Syntax

class SFTPServerFindNextEventParams(object):
  @property
  def connection_id() -> int: ...

  @property
  def handle() -> str: ...

  @property
  def operation_status() -> int: ...
  @operation_status.setter
  def operation_status(value) -> None: ...

# In class SFTPServer:
@property
def on_find_next() -> Callable[[SFTPServerFindNextEventParams], None]: ...
@on_find_next.setter
def on_find_next(event_hook: Callable[[SFTPServerFindNextEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

This event is fired repeatedly after on_find_first to retrieve the directory contents entry-by-entry. Please see the on_find_first topic for more details about implementing a handler of this event.

Remember to set OperationStatus to ostEOF when there are no more entries left to close the listing operation. If there are more entries to pass, set it to ostOK. Other possible values are given in the table below:

on_notification Event

This event notifies the application about an underlying control flow event.

Syntax

class SFTPServerNotificationEventParams(object):
  @property
  def event_id() -> str: ...

  @property
  def event_param() -> str: ...

# In class SFTPServer:
@property
def on_notification() -> Callable[[SFTPServerNotificationEventParams], None]: ...
@on_notification.setter
def on_notification(event_hook: Callable[[SFTPServerNotificationEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

The class fires this event to let the application know about some event, occurrence, or milestone in the component. For example, it may fire to report completion of the document processing. The list of events being reported is not fixed, and may be flexibly extended over time.

The unique identifier of the event is provided in EventID parameter. EventParam contains any parameters accompanying the occurrence. Depending on the type of the component, the exact action it is performing, or the document being processed, one or both may be omitted.

This class can fire this event with the following EventID values:

on_open_file Event

This event instructs the application to handle the file open request.

Syntax

class SFTPServerOpenFileEventParams(object):
  @property
  def connection_id() -> int: ...

  @property
  def path() -> str: ...

  @property
  def modes() -> int: ...

  @property
  def access() -> int: ...

  @property
  def operation_status() -> int: ...
  @operation_status.setter
  def operation_status(value) -> None: ...

  def handle() -> str: ...
  @handle.setter
  def handle(value) -> None: ...

# In class SFTPServer:
@property
def on_open_file() -> Callable[[SFTPServerOpenFileEventParams], None]: ...
@on_open_file.setter
def on_open_file(event_hook: Callable[[SFTPServerOpenFileEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

This event is fired when a file open request is received from the client and needs to be handled (virtualized) by the server. The ConnectionID parameter specifies in which session the request was received, and Path specifies the location of the file.

Modes can be a combination of one or several file open mode flags:

Different client applications may provide different selections of mode flags. For example, some clients specify (cfmCreate + cfmTruncate) when overwriting files, whereas others would specify cfmOpenOrCreate. Please make sure your code is prepared to receive different combinations of flags here and handles them gracefully.

The Access parameter provides additional file access modifiers:

These parameter may also contain a combination of the above flags. Access modifiers are only supported in SFTPv6, and in practice are rarely used by client applications.

The Handle string represents a unique identifier of the opened file, similar to file handles used in Windows or Unix APIs. Handles are unique across all files opened at the same time. Class generates handles automatically, but you can update the auto-generated values with your own in this event handler (just remember to keep them unique).

Set OperationStatus parameter in accordance with the outcome of the operation to one of the values given below:

on_read_file Event
