Artifactory: upload with api key (not password)

Question

How would you upload an artifact to artifactory without using a password?

If I create a new user specific for uploads, that user by default doesn't git the 'upload' permission unless they are an administrator.

Answer 1

To upload with credentials

curl -u admin:'correct-horse-battery-staple' -T foo.zip

To upload with an api key

curl --header 'X-JFrog-Art-Api: 1234567890' -T foo.zip

Alternativly you can use the syntax <username:apikey>

curl -u admin:1234567890 -T foo.zip

You can create the api key on the user profile page.

Answer 2

See the various authentication options, including authentication using API key, in the JFrog CLI for Artifactory documentation page: https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/CLI/CLI+for+JFrog+Artifactory
