Define, Deploy, and Manage Files.com via Code with Terraform

Automate, scale, and standardize your Files.com infrastructure using Terraform, the leading Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool. The Files.com Terraform Provider allows IT and DevOps teams to define, deploy, and manage Files.com configurations using declarative code—so your file transfer automation, access policies, and integration workflows can be version-controlled and consistently deployed across environments.

Why Terraform and Files.com

Terraform brings the power of infrastructure automation to your Files.com environment.
By combining Terraform’s IaC capabilities with Files.com’s secure file management and automation features, you can:

• Maintain configuration consistency: Define your Files.com setup—users, groups, permissions, folders, and integrations—in code to ensure predictable, repeatable deployments.
• Enable version control: Manage your Files.com infrastructure alongside the rest of your infrastructure code in Git or any supported VCS.
• Accelerate onboarding and scaling: Automatically provision new folders, automation rules, and authentication methods when deploying new environments or onboarding teams.
• Simplify compliance and auditing: Code-based configuration ensures full visibility into who changed what, when, and why.

Using Files.com with Terraform

Using the Files.com Terraform Provider, you can automate nearly every aspect of your Files.com configuration. Common use cases include:

• User and group management: Define and manage users, roles, and permissions programmatically.
• Folder provisioning: Automatically create structured directories for teams, clients, or projects.
• Automation setup: Deploy and manage automations that move, copy, or transform files across integrations (SFTP, Amazon S3, Google Cloud, Azure, and more).
• Security configuration: Enforce GPG encryption, authentication methods (like SAML or LDAP), and access policies through versioned Terraform scripts.

Start by adding the Files.com provider to your Terraform configuration, authenticate with your API Key, and begin declaring your site settings as code.
