Deploy Artifacts to a Federated Repository

Upload artifacts through the UI or build tools and understand how deployments synchronize to other Federation members.

Deploy artifacts using the UI or your build tools. Deployments are stored locally and then synchronized to other Federation members.

Before You Begin

You have DEPLOY permission.
You know the repository key.

Deploy from the UI

To deploy artifacts from the UI:

In Artifactory > Artifacts, select the Federated repository.
Click Deploy.
Select files and target path.
Click Deploy to upload.

Deploy from Build Tools

Use Set Me Up to generate tool-specific deployment snippets, or deploy directly with the JFrog CLI:

jf rt upload <LOCAL_PATH> <REPO_KEY>/<TARGET_PATH>

Where:

<LOCAL_PATH>: The path to the file on your local machine
<REPO_KEY>: The key of the Federated repository

For example:

jf rt upload ./build/app.jar federated-libs-release/com/myapp/1.0/app.jar

How Sync Works After Deployment

The following table summarizes how synchronization proceeds after you deploy an artifact.

Step	Result
Upload on local member	Artifact stored locally
Event generated	Federation processing begins
Event propagated	Eligible members receive artifact
Sync completes	Artifact available across members

Frequently Asked Questions

This section provides answers to frequently asked questions.

plusFAQs

Q: What permission do I need to deploy artifacts to a Federated repository?

A: You need DEPLOY permission on the repository. See Before You Begin for the full list of prerequisites.

Q: How do I deploy artifacts using build tools instead of the UI?

A: Use Set Me Up to generate a tool-specific deployment snippet, or upload directly with the JFrog CLI. See Deploy from Build Tools.

Q: When will my deployed artifact be available on other Federation members?

A: It's available immediately on your local JPD. It becomes available on remote JPDs once synchronization completes. See How Sync Works After Deployment.

Q: Can I deploy artifacts to a Federated repository from the Artifactory UI?

A: Yes. Select the repository under Artifactory > Artifacts, click Deploy, then select your files and target path.
