In the Artifact Repository Browser, you can deploy artifacts into a local repository from the Artifacts module by clicking Deploy to display the Deploy dialog. Artifacts can be deployed individually or in multiples.

Important

JFrog does not support deploying artifacts larger than 10 MB from the Artifactory User Interface. For artifacts larger than 10 MB, use either the JFrog CLI or the native package manager.

Regarding artifact names:

  • Avoid the following special characters, which can lead to potential errors: | * ? "

  • & can be used as part of the name but not as a path token.

  • A space before / is not allowed.

Using Import to "deploy" an entire repository

If you want to "deploy" an entire repository, import it using the Import Repository feature in the Administration module under Artifactory | Import & Export | Repositories.

You can also deploy artifacts to any repository using the Artifactory REST API. See this example for a quick start.Deploy ArtifactDeploy Artifact

Uploading Non-Conformant Content

Repositories of each package type have built-in logic for parsing metadata, creating index files, and optimizing performance for packages of that specific type. Uploading non-conformant content, such as images, text files, and other resources that are not wrapped in the proper package format can impact indexing and reduce performance. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to upload generic content to a Generic repository.
