How do I deploy a file to Artifactory using the command line?

Question

I\'ve spent far more time on this than I care to admit. I am trying to just deploy one file into my Artifactory server from the command line. I\'m doing this using gradle

Answer 1

curl POST did not work for me . PUT worked correctly . The usage is

curl -X PUT $SERVER/$PATH/$FILE --data-binary @localfile

example :

$ curl -v --user username:password --data-binary @local-file -X PUT "http://<artifactory server >/artifactory/abc-snapshot-local/remotepath/remotefile"

Answer 2

Instead of using the curl command, I recommend using the jrog CLI.

Download from here - https://www.jfrog.com/getcli/ and use the following command (make sure the file is executable) -

./jfrog rt u <file-name> <upload-path>

Here is a simple example:

./jfrog rt u sample-service-1.0.0.jar libs-release-local/com/sample-service/1.0.0/

You will be prompt for credentials and the repo URL for the first time.

You can do lots of other stuff with this CLI tool, check out the detailed instructions here - https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/RTF/JFrog+CLI.

Answer 3

Ironically, I'm answering my own question. After a couple more hours working on the problem, I found a sample project on github: https://github.com/JFrogDev/project-examples

The project even includes a straightforward bash script for doing the exact deploy/copy from the command line that I was looking for, as well as a couple of less straightforward gradle scripts.

The documentation for the artifactory plugin can be found, as expected, in Artifactory User Guide.

Please note that it is adviced to use the newer plugin - artifactory-publish, which supports the new Gradle publishing model.

Regarding uploading from the command line, you really don't need gradle for that. You can execute a simple PUT query using CURL or any other tool.

And of course if you just want to get your file into Artifactory, you can always deploy it via the UI.

Take a look the Artifactory REST API, mostly you can't use scp command, instead use the curl command towards REST API.

$ curl -X POST $SERVER/$PATH/$FILE --data @localfile

Mostly it looks like

$ curl -X POST http://localhost:8081/artifactory/abc-snapshot-local/remotepath/remotefile --data @localfile

The scp command is only used if you really want to access the internal folder which is managed by artifactory

$ curl -v -X PUT                    \
  --user username:password          \
  --upload-file <path to your file> \
  http://localhost:8080/artifactory/libs-release-local/my/jar/1.0/jar-1.0.jar
