Repositories of the ‘generic’ type can be used to manage any data objects, whether binary or text-based. This type is typically used when Artifactory does not provide a specialized repository for your package type (e.g. plain executables or movies).

Uploading to and downloading from the repository can be done with the curl command. To create and upload a small text file, execute

echo "Hello, World" > test.txt
curl -u <USERNAME>:<API-KEY> -T test.txt -X PUT https://rdmrepo.icts.kuleuven.be/artifactory/<REPOSITORY-NAME>/test.txt

You can then download it as follows (e.g. on another location and/or a different machine):

curl -u <USERNAME>:<API-KEY> -O https://rdmrepo.icts.kuleuven.be/artifactory/<REPOSITORY-NAME>/test.txt

e.g.

curl -u u0123456:sb8NAZl53g7tUz5IvbWMGRTJXgtk6GKH96ICImcnwhjyFPTj0iZDymKjVWHmLxRHJsaSdPrT8 -O https://rdmrepo.icts.kuleuven.be/artifactory/generic-local/test.txt

Where the <REPOSITORY-NAME> is: generic-local/
