How to avoid uploading a file if that file exists

[erhanbaris]

I uploaded 252GB files to artifactory and i would like to skip uploading the same files to artifactory. But, when I try to execute upload the system automatically tries to upload all files again.

Is there any way to do that?

Command:
jf rt u --flat=false "./" generic-local/images/

Hi @erhanbaris,
Thank you for using the JFrog CLI.

This feature is already supported out-of-the-box in the JFrog CLI.
It's referred to as "Checksum Deploy" - before uploading a file, it computes the file's checksum. If that checksum already exists in Artifactory, it bypasses uploading the file's content.

Feel free to inform us if there's anything more you need assistance with.

Thanks @yahavi
I don't know why but jfrog still uploads the same files, also, those files are located on a remote server and that server does not have an internet connection. So, calculating checksum and uploading files takes a lot of time. Is there any option to check file exists (with name) instead of checksum

@erhanbaris
You can try this search command to check the existence of the desired file:

jf rt s "generic-local/images/filename" --fail-no-op

If the command yields 0, it means the file exists, hence, skip the upload.
