JFrog CLI - Unable to create nested folder while uploading package - artifactory

I am here uploading a nuget package to a JFrog Artifactory using GitHub actions by setup JFrog using this action.
For that purpose I have tried below command at first - which successfully uploaded the package but at wrong path...
jfrog rt u *.nupkg folder1/folder1.1/folder1.1.1/folder1.1.1.1/
It considered folder1/folder1.1/folder1.1.1/folder1.1.1.1/ as a single folder.
So after going through this answer, I tried having it's value as true / false both but it didn't work and threw an error.
Any suggestion that how can I create a nested folder using jfrog cli ?

Well, the issue never existed.
The fun part is,
JFrog doesn't create an empty directory.
.
When I tried to create a Folder1.2 then it displayed nested hierarchy.

How do I delete a specific Jfrog build with the cli (and its corresponding artifact)

I'm confused about how to perform this operation, it almost seems like it's not supported. Looking at the docs I see no examples for deleting a specific build version: https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/CLI/CLI+for+JFrog+Artifactory#CLIforJFrogArtifactory-DiscardingOldBuildsfromArtifactory
I use build discarding now, but that's not what this is. I want to remove a specific build version and its corresponding artifact, not use --max-days or --max-builds. How is this possible? I want to delete the build AND the artifact.
I use Jfrog to host an internal helm repo, helm has no built-in command to delete a chart from a remote repo.
For deleting a specific artifact of a build using jfrog cli run
jfrog rt delete --build build-name/build-number
Parse --dry-run to know which artifacts would have been deleted.

JFrog Pipelines - Artifactory not found error in build step

I am trying to setup JFrog Pipelines. I am new to this so starting small with a pipleline that just has a single npm build step. The source code is taken from github. When I run the pipeline, I get a 404 not found error in the artifactory_configure task. I double checked the Artifactory Integration but the error persists. Any ideas on how to solve it.
Please make sure that you include the Artifactory context as part of the URL when creating the Artifactory integration. For example:
https://xxx.jfrog.io/artifactory

Incorrect directory structure created using jfrog CLI

I am trying to download the entire folder (as it is with all files and subfolders) from an Artifactory repo to my local folder.
Note - I am using Artifactory Pro cloud version
This how my Artifactory local repo (generic) looks like -
I run the following command in jfrog CLI (used this article as refrence) -
jfrog rt download --include-dirs=true --flat=true --user=XXX --password=XXX --url=https://XXXX.jfrog.io/XXXX --recursive '/support-pack/aem-dispatcher/files/(*)' '{1}'
The files get downloaded however it results in a weird folder structure -
Below is a screenshot of the logs
Notice the additional resume folder under the resume folder. Why is this happening?
I want the exact structure under files folder in Artifactory to be replicated in my local folder.
Please help!
The answer turned out to be much simpler than expected. All I had to do was get rid of --include-dirs=true in my command.

Deploy debian package for multiple distros into Jfrog Artifactory?

What is the right procedure to deploy a debian package built for different distros into the same Jfrog debian artifactory repo?
Just uploading to the same path, but with different deb.distribution properties does not work, they all get uploaded to the same place and clobber the previous upload.
Including the distribution name into the package name is ugly, but would of course work. Is there a better way?
You simply post the different debian to different locations within the Jfrog artifactory repository. The trick is that the repository layout has nothing to do with the aptitude API, which retrieves debians regardless of their location according to the requested metadata (deb.distribution, deb.version etc).

Is there a URL for the latest snapshot for an artifact in Artifactory?

I would like to make a permalink to the latest snapshot version of an artifact in Artifactory. If we are on 1.0-SNAPSHOT, I would like a URL that downloads the latest 1.0-SNAPSHOT JAR. I can find the latest artifact by locating the artifact on our server at http://hostname/artifactory/libs-snapshot/groupId/artifactId/1.0-SNAPSHOT/. Other than checking the timestamps, I can figure out which one if the latest by opening maven-metadata.xml and matching metadata/versioning/snapshot timestamp and buildNumber with a JAR in the same directory. This could be scripted, but ideally Artifactory already has a way to construct a permalink in this manner. Does Artifactory provide such a URL?
Doing the normal query for the entry with artifactId-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar in the URL name should return automatically the latest snapshot.
See the doc here
One thing: This is base either on the latest creation date if no pom present, or latest creation of the pom if there are some. Mixing pom and non-pom deployment may results in strange results!
I tried using shell script and it worked for me.
Step1: Get an encrypted password for your user account by clicking on user name or create a common user. Go to using your secure password section in the following link
http://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/RTF/Centrally+Secure+Passwords
Step 2: In your local machine create a temp folder and type this curl(may be wget for windows) command:
curl -o tmp/foo.jar --user <username>:<encrypted_password> <artifactory_url>/list/libs-snapshot-local/com/search/foo/1.0/foo-1.0-SNAPSHOT.JAR
Your foo.jar in tmp folder is latest version. If we dont give timestamp as like above, it will download latest artifact in that version. Hope this helps!

How to download the latest artifact from Artifactory repository?
Although there is no permalink ability in the free version of Artifactory, it can be scripted easily as you suggest. I have provided a quick script to do that in the referenced question.
Hope it helps.
Another portable option is to use the maven command line:
mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.4:get -DartifactId=[artifactId] -DgroupId=[groupId] -Dversion=[version] -Ddest=[dest file]
This works for me (no search API, just direct artifact URL):
curl -O -J --user <username>:<encrypted_password> http://hostname/artifactory/libs-snapshot/groupId/artifactId/1.0-SNAPSHOT/artifactId-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
Basically using 1.0-SNAPSHOT in the artifact name downloads the latest version of 1.0-SNAPSHOT snapshot.
