Jfrog file upload failing with 403 forbidden - rest

Question

I have been trying to upload a file into JFrog artifactory repo from the cli as below and keep getting the 403 Forbidden error. What am I missing as env variables, etc for the upload to go through from the cli?
jf rt u "xyz" --url="http://example.com/ui/repos/tree/General/asdf/cba" --username="afad" --password="********"

Answer 1

--username is not a valid argument and the target path is also missing. Use the below command to upload a file.
jf rt u "testfile.txt" "generic-local" --url="https://myartifactory.jfrog.io/artifactory" --user="youruser" --password="yourpassword"
This will upload a file called testfile.txt to the repository generic-local. If you want to deploy to a specific path, you can pass the path after generic-local.
jf rt u "testfile.txt" "generic-local/path1/subpath/" --url="https://myartifactory.jfrog.io/artifactory" --user="youruser" --password="yourpassword"
