# StopServer


Changes the state of a file transfer protocol-enabled server from `ONLINE` to `OFFLINE`. An `OFFLINE` server cannot accept and process file transfer jobs. Information tied to your server, such as server and user properties, are not affected by stopping your server.

**Note**  
Stopping the server does not reduce or impact your file transfer protocol endpoint billing; you must delete the server to stop being billed.

The state of `STOPPING` indicates that the server is in an intermediate state, either not fully able to respond, or not fully offline. The values of `STOP_FAILED` can indicate an error condition.

No response is returned from this call.
