.. py:method:: Transfer.Client.start_server(**kwargs)

  

  Changes the state of a file transfer protocol-enabled server from ``OFFLINE`` to ``ONLINE``. It has no impact on a server that is already ``ONLINE``. An ``ONLINE`` server can accept and process file transfer jobs.

   

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

   

  No response is returned from this call.
