Arguments

Argument	Required	Description
`<server-id>`	Yes	Server ID on which the plugin should be installed (typically the source server)

Options

Flag	Default	Description
`--dir`	—	Local directory containing plugin files to install (instead of downloading)
`--home-dir`	`/opt/jfrog`	Local JFrog home directory for plugin installation
`--version`	`latest`	Plugin version to download and install

Examples

Install the Latest Plugin

jf rt transfer-plugin-install --help

Install a Specific Version

jf rt transfer-plugin-install my-server --version 1.2.3

Install from Local Directory

jf rt transfer-plugin-install my-server --dir ./plugins/data-transfer

Use a Custom Home Directory

jf rt transfer-plugin-install my-server --home-dir /opt/my-jfrog

Note: Run this command on the machine where the Artifactory primary node runs. The plugin is required for transfer-config and transfer-files operations.

When to Use

This is the first step in any Artifactory-to-Artifactory migration. Run it on the machine where the source Artifactory primary node is running, before using transfer-config or transfer-files.

Important Notes

Must be run on the same machine as the Artifactory primary node (it installs files into the local filesystem).
The default JFrog home directory is /opt/jfrog. Override with --home-dir if your installation uses a different path.
After installation, Artifactory may need to be restarted (or the plugin will be loaded automatically depending on your configuration).
Use --version to install a specific plugin version if you need compatibility with a particular Artifactory version.
