It is recommended to run the transfer-files command from a machine that has network access to the source Artifactory URL. This allows spreading the transfer load on all the Artifactory cluster nodes. This machine should also have network access to the target Artifactory URL.
Follow these steps to installing JFrog CLI on that machine.
1. Install JFrog CLI by using one of the JFrog CLI Installers.
For example:
curl -fL https://install-cli.jfrog.io | sh
2. Configure the connection details of the source Artifactory instance with your admin credentials. Run the following command and follow the instructions.
jf c add source-server
3. Configure the connection details of the target Artifactory instance.
jf c add target-server #Run the transfer command as described above jf rt transfer-settings
