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 because that is how we manage our java builds. However, this artifact is an NDK/JNI build artifact, and does not use gradle.

So I just need the simplest gradle script to do the deploy. Something equivalent to:

scp <file> <remote> 

I am currently trying to use the artifactory plugin, and am having little luck in locating a reference for the plugin.

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 prompted for credentials and the repo URL 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.
