# AWS Transfer Family

Ensure the data that is moved into Amazon S3 via AWS Transfer Family is free of ransomware, viruses, trojans and other payloads by scanning it inline with Antivirus for Amazon S3

## Deployment Options

Deploy AWS Transfer Family and antivirus scanning at the same time in 5-15 minutes via our AWS CloudFormation Template. If you are new to Transfer Family, everything you need to be up and running will be deployed for you. If you are already using Transfer Family, it is easy to select the S3 buckets linked with your Server to deploy antivirus scanning.

If you're just getting started with our solution you'll need to [subscribe to dedicated AWS Transfer Family listing](/getting-started/how-to-subscribe/aws-transfer-family.md) on AWS Marketplace. After you've subscribed you'll be able to [deploy the AWS Transfer Family CloudFormation Template](/getting-started/how-to-deploy/aws-transfer-family.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
If you are currently subscribed to the Antivirus for Amazon S3 product and have a Transfer Family Server deployed, all you need to do is [protect the S3 bucket](https://help.cloudstoragesec.com/console-overview/protected-buckets) linked to your Transfer Family Server to ensure its contents are clean.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.cloudstoragesec.com/how-it-works/integrations/aws-transfer-family.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
