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. It lets developers and system administrators integrate CompleteFTP management into their existing scripts, applications, and DevOps workflows.

Full programmatic control

The AdminAPI provides control over every aspect of CompleteFTP's configuration, including users, groups, folders, and sites. Each configuration object exposes the same properties and methods as its JSS API counterpart, so you can read and update settings and invoke object methods directly over REST.

Requests are made over HTTPS using standard HTTP methods (GET and POST) with JSON for data exchange, and authentication is handled via HTTP Basic Authentication with administrator credentials. This provides a secure and flexible way to automate repetitive tasks, provision users, and integrate CompleteFTP into larger IT management systems.
