Artifactory CLI

Artifactory CLI provides a command line interface for uploading and downloading artifacts to and from Artifactory. It supports Artifactory version 3.5.3 and above.

Deprecated

Artifactory CLI has been deprecated and is no longer being maintained or supported. JFrog CLI is an evolution of Artifactory CLI, and adds many features including support for Bintray. All features of Artifactory CLI are supported by JFrog CLI and migrating your scripts is extremely simple. To continue optimizing your file management, please start using JFrog CLI.

Getting Started

Downloading the executables from Bintray

If you do not wish to install/use go, you can download executables for Linux, Mac and Windows from JFrog Bintray. Select the architecture you want, download the art executable, and place it in your path.

Building the command line executable

If you prefer, you may instead build the client in go.

Setup GO on your machine

• Make sure you have a working Go environment. See the install instructions.
• Navigate to the directory where you want to create the artifactory-cli-go project.
• Set the value of the GOPATH environment variable to the full path of this directory.

Download Artifactory CLI from GitHub

Run the following command to create the artifactory-cli-go project:

$ go get github.com/JFrogDev/artifactory-cli-go/...

Navigate to the following directory

$ cd $GOPATH/bin

You'll find the art (or art.exe on Windows) executable there.

Usage

You can copy the art executable to any location on your file-system as long as you add it to your PATH environment variable, so that you can access it from any path.

Command syntax

$ art command-name options arguments

The sections below specify the available commands, their respective options and additional arguments that may be needed. art should be followed by a command name (for example, upload), a list of options (for example, --url=http://...) and the list of arguments for the command.

The upload command

Used to upload artifacts to Artifactory.

   --url           [Mandatory] Artifactory URL.
   --user          [Optional] Artifactory user.
   --password      [Optional] Artifactory password.
   --ssh-key-path  [Optional] Path to your private SSH key file.
   --props         [Optional] List of properties in the form of "key1=value1;key2=value2,..." to be attached to the uploaded artifacts.
   --deb           [Optional] Used for Debian packages in the form of distribution/component/architecture.
   --flat          [Default: true] If not set to true, and the upload path ends with a slash, artifacts are uploaded according to their file system hierarchy.
   --recursive     [Default: true] Set to false if you do not wish to collect artifacts in sub-folders to be uploaded to Artifactory.
   --regexp        [Default: false] Set to true to use a regular expression instead of wildcards expression to collect artifacts to upload.
   --threads       [Default: 3] Number of artifacts to upload in parallel.
   --dry-run       [Default: false] Set to true to disable communication with Artifactory.

• The first argument is the local file-system path to the artifacts to be uploaded to Artifactory. The path can include a single file or multiple artifacts, by using the * wildcard. Important: If the path is provided as a regular expression (with the --regexp=true option) then the first regular expression appearing as part of the argument must be enclosed in parenthesis.

• The second argument is the upload path in Artifactory. The argument should have the following format: [repository name]/[repository path] The path can include symbols in the form of {1}, {2}, ... These symbols are replaced with the sections enclosed with parenthesis in the first argument.

This example uploads the froggy.tgz file to the root of the my-local-repo repository

$ art upload "froggy.tgz" "my-local-repo/" --url=http://domain/artifactory --user=admin --password=password

This example collects all the zip artifacts located under the build directory (including sub-directories). and uploads them to the my-local-repo repository, under the zipFiles folder, while keeping the artifacts original names.

$ art upload build/*.zip libs-release-local/zipFiles/ --url=http://domain/artifactory --user=admin --password=password

And on Windows:

$ art upload "build\\*.zip" "libs-release-local/zipFiles/" --url=http://domain/artifactory --user=admin --password=password

The download command

Used to download artifacts from Artifactory.

   --url           [Mandatory] Artifactory URL.
   --user          [Optional] Artifactory user.
   --password      [Optional] Artifactory password.
   --ssh-key-path  [Optional] Path to your private SSH key file.   
   --props         [Optional] List of properties in the form of "key1=value1;key2=value2,..." Only artifacts with these properties will be downloaded.
   --flat          [Default: false] Set to true if you do not wish to have the Artifactory repository path structure created locally for your downloaded artifacts.
   --recursive     [Default: true] Set to false if you do not wish to include the download of artifacts inside sub-directories in Artifactory.
   --min-split     [Default: 5120] Minimum file size in KB to split into ranges. Set to -1 for no splits.
   --split-count   [Default: 3] Number of parts to split a file when downloading. Set to 0 for no splits.
   --threads       [Default: 3] Number of artifacts to download in parallel.

The command expects one argument - the path of artifacts to be downloaded from Artifactory. The argument should have the following format: [repository name]/[repository path] The path can include a single artifact or multiple artifacts, by using the * wildcard. The artifacts are downloaded and saved to the current directory, while saving their folder structure.

This example downloads the cool-froggy.zip artifact located at the root of the my-local-repo repository to current directory.

$ art download "my-local-repo/cool-froggy.zip" --url=http://domain/artifactory --user=admin --password=password

This example downloads all artifacts located in the my-local-repo repository under the all-my-frogs folder to the all-my-frog directory located unde the current directory.

$ art download "my-local-repo/all-my-frogs/" --url=http://domain/artifactory --user=admin --password=password

The config command

Used to configure the Artifactory URL, user and passwords, so that you don't have to send them as options for the upload and download commands. The configuration is saved at ~/.jfrog/art-cli.conf

   --interactive   [Default: true] Set to false if you do not wish the config command to be interactive. If true, the --url option becomes optional.
   --enc-password  [Default: true] If set to false then the configured password will not be encrypted using Artifatory's encryption API.
   --url           [Optional] Artifactory URL.
   --user          [Optional] Artifactory user.
   --password      [Optional] Artifactory password.
   --ssh-key-path  [Optional] Path to your private SSH key file.   

• If no arguments are sent, the command will configure the Artifactory URL, user and password sent through the command options or through the command's interactive prompt.
• The show argument will make the command show the stored configuration.
• The clear argument will make the command clear the stored configuration.

if your Artifactory server has encrypted password set to required you should use your API Key as your password.

Configure the Artifactory details through an interactive propmp.

$ art config

Configure the Artifactory details through the command options.

$ art config --url=http://domain/artifactory --user=admin --password=password

Show the configured Artifactory details.

$ art config show

Clear the configured Artifactory details.

$ art config clear

Security

Artifactory CLI lets you authenticate yourself to Artifactory either using your Artifactory user and password, or using RSA public and private keys.

Authentication with user and password

To use your Artifactory user and password, simply use the --user and --password command options as described above or configure your user and password using the config command.

Authentication using RSA public and private keys

Artifactory supports SSH authentication using RSA public and private keys. SSH authentication is supported from version 4.4 with version 1.3.0 and bove of the Artifactory CLI. To authenticate yourself to Artifactory using RSA keys, execute the following instructions:

• Enable SSH authentication in Artifactory as described in the Artifactory Documentation.
• Configure your Artifactory URL to have the following format: ssh://[host]:[port] using the --url command option or the config command. Please make sure the [host] URL section does not include your Artifactory context URL, but only the host name or IP.
• Configure the path to your private SSH key file using the --ssh-key-path command option or the config command.
