Automate Server Management with the AdminAPI (REST)

CompleteFTP Enterprise MFT includes a powerful REST API, known as the AdminAPI, designed for programmatic server administration and automation. This allows developers and system administrators to integrate CompleteFTP management into their existing scripts, applications, and DevOps workflows.

Secure and Flexible Programmatic Control

The AdminAPI enables a wide range of administrative tasks, including:

• User Management: Create, retrieve, update, and delete user accounts.
• Group Management: Manage user groups and memberships.
• Folder Management: Configure the virtual file system, add, modify, and remove folders.
• Site Configuration: Access and modify site settings.

Accessed via HTTPS, the AdminAPI uses standard HTTP methods (GET, POST) and JSON for data exchange. Authentication is handled via HTTP Basic Authentication with administrator credentials. This feature provides a secure and flexible way to automate repetitive tasks, provision users, and integrate CompleteFTP into larger IT management systems.
