Artifactory API to upload directory with contents

Question

I was looking into the Artifactory REST API doc but I could not find any API that allows us to upload a directory with contents (can be files, subdirectory). There is only API to upload an individual file. I also found this where it stated that it can be done through GUI or the JFrog CLI. I wonder if I misread some documents and if there actually is a way to do that with the REST API.

Answer 1

In order to upload (aka "deploy") a directory with its contents via REST API you can use the Deploy Artifacts from Archive endpoint.

You'll need to create an archive file ( zip , tar , tar.gz ) with the directory and its contents, and call the upload API with the target folder, specifying the X-Explode-Archive: true request header.

Eg (simplified - omitted auth, etc.):

curl -X PUT https://jfrog.foo.bar/artifactory/my-repo-local/   \
     -H "X-Explode-Archive: true"                              \
     -T my-file.tar.gz
