I am manually creating text files in remote windows location to build a job in Jenkins.
Is this possible using any plugin , that i can create these files in Jenkins workspace.
Currenlty i checked File Operations Plugin , but this does not create different files as this one is only uploading a single file.

I have a Java project that is running as a job on a Jenkins server. The project is generating a file that is being stored locally on the server in the respective project folder. Currently, to get hold of this file, I am logging into the Jenkins server and get it manually. I would like to make this file available for download directly through the Jenkins job somehow. Not sure if there is a way to do that though. Is there a plug in that might add this functionality or is there any other way to achieve that?
Archive the file. For a freestyle job, that would be a "Post Build Step". For a pipeline job, use archiveArtifacts.
You definitely don't want to rely it on it being in a workspace on the Jenkins agent machine somewhere. The workspace directories can move and change, or be removed.
We are trying to retrieve multiple project paths in TFS into the single folder for example PFB the list of project paths
$/Integrations/Interfaces/GlobalComponents/Main/IIB_WorkSpace
$/Integrations/Interfaces/Items
$/Integrations/Interfaces/Commons
i need to retrieve my project artifacts from above project paths into a single folder where i can use that folder as jenkins workspace for build job in jenkins
I have used Multiple SCM plugin , I have added three TFS configurations with individual paths which mentioned above , when i am trying to run the build job, only first two paths ,i am able to retrieve the artifacts , third path when i checked the logs it says it retrieved 162 resources but i cannot see any file inside that folder related to that project path , I have used common TFS workspace for all three , Pls let me know if any one who has succeeded in retrieving project artifacts from multiple project paths, Pls do let me know
The build project in Jenkins only support to set one path of TFS. Here are some workaround methods in these threads that you could have a try:
1.How do you pull multiple TFS repos into a single Jenkins job?
2.Jenkins: How To Build multiple projects from a TFS repository?
I am in Jenkins and using ArtifactDeployer. The console output tells me that the remote repo is http:// myrepo but all it does is create a new folder in my base directory which I also specify in this plugin. It correctly finds only one file to copy but strangely just creates a new directory and copies it in there. I thought this would enable me to deploy artifacts to another server... Can I do that?
No you can not do that with artifacts deployer but there are other ones you can use - read below:
Jenkins provides by default a feature for archiving artifacts generated by the build of a Jenkins Job. These artifacts are archived in the JENKINS_HOME directory. However, this directory contains also tool configurations (global and job configurations). Therefore, there is no separation between infrastructure data, jobs data and generated elements. It is often considered to be a bad practice and it doesn't help to manage it from an administrator point of view.
Unfortunately, it's not possible to extend the 'archived artifacts' feature to archive artifacts in a location other than JENKINS_HOME.
The main goal of the ArtifactDeployer plugin is to archive artifacts in your desired locations (other than JENKINS_HOME directory).
There are many Jenkins plugins close to ArtifactDeployer such as CopyArtifact plugin or CopyArchiver plugin for publishing artifacts from Jenkins resources (from the current workspace, from the old builds of the same job or other jobs, ...) to remote locations with the protocol file://
There are also others plugins for managing other protocols such as ftp://, ssh:///.
I have a scenario wherein the users who have created some configuration files need to upload the same from the desktop where they access Jenkins onto the Job's workspace to build and execute tests.
So I did try using the Config File Provider plugin as mentioned in https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Config+File+Provider+Plugin. This seems to work fine to copy the configuration file to the Jenkins UI, which can be later synced to the Slave with the given path in the Build environment of the respective job. But the users who wish to upload these files don't have the administrative rights. Hence they are unable to access the Configuration File Management which is under the Manage Jenkins tab. Is there any way that I can move the Configuration File Management under the Jenkins sidebar and allow users to edit the same.
Are there any other plugins that will help me achieve the same? I did also try Copy to Slave plugin but this only copies the files under $JENKINS_HOME/userContent to the job's workspace. We will have to copy the files from the desktop to $JENKINS_HOME/userContent and then use the plugin.
Wouldn't using a parameterized job and have one of the parameters be a File Parameter? See https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Parameterized+Build
I use Jenkins to run Clover, I can see the HTML report on Jenkins' web GUI, but I also want to download clover.pdf. It's created under workspace directory (only newest version) and builds directory like Jenkins\jobs\Job_test\builds\2013-02-19_17-12-25.
Is there any solution to access Jenkins\jobs\Job_test\builds\2013-02-19_17-12-25 from web ?
Archive the artifact that you require. All the archived artifacts will be stored in Jenkins server and can be accessed from web.
The link to the artifact will look like below
/jenkins/view/Test/job/jobname/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/path/to/mypdf.pdf
This can be achieved though the post build step "archive the artifacts":
