Upload Asset File
The Upload Asset File is available as both a pgutil command and an HTTP Request, and will create a new file in the asset directory, or overwrite an existing one.
This example will upload a file download-stats.txt located in the local path C:\Inedo\data-files the folder uploaded-files of the asset directory myAssetDirectory:
pgutil assets upload --feed=myAssetDirectory --target-path=uploaded-files/download-stats.txt --file=C:\Inedo\data-files\download-stats.txt
Command Specification (CLI)
The assets upload command is used to upload a file to the asset directory.
The --target-path and --file options are always required. The --feed option is required if there is no default feed configured.
Uploading a file requires the asset directory (e.g. MyAssetDirectory), the target folder in the asset directory to upload to (e.g. uploaded-files), and the path of the file to upload (e.g. C:\Inedo\data-files\download-stats.txt):
pgutil assets upload --feed=myAssetDirectory --target-path=uploaded-files/download-stats.txt --file=C:\Inedo\data-files\download-stats.txt
The --partsize option is required when multipart uploading, and states the size of each part.
Uploading a mutipart file requires the asset directory (e.g. MyAssetDirectory), the target folder in the asset directory to upload to (e.g. uploaded-files), the path of the file to upload (e.g. C:\Inedo\data-files\download-stats.txt) and the size in mb of the part size of each upload (e.g. 2048 for a 2gb file):
pgutil assets upload --feed=myAssetDirectory --target-path=uploaded-files/download-stats.txt --file=C:\Inedo\data-files\download-stats.txt --partsize=2048
HTTP Request Specification
This HTTP request uses PUT, POST and PATCH requests. The behaviour is determined by the request used:
PUTwill only upload a file if it doesn't already existPOSTwill create a file in the destination if it doesn't currently exist, or overwrite any existing file with the same namePATCHwill only upload the file if a file with the same name currently exists, overwriting it
To create or overwrite a file, PUT, POST or PATCH to the URL with the AssetDirectoryName and path to the file. If specified, the Content-Type header will be stored for the file.
PUT/POST/PATCH /endpoints/«AssetDirectoryName»/content/«path_to_file»
If the request specifies a folder that does not currently exist, the folder will be created.
Multi-part Upload: Large Files
There is an HTTP request that can be used for very large (2GB+) files. Please see the Multipart Asset File Upload page for this.
HTTP Response Specification
| Response | Details |
|---|---|
| 201 (Success) | the file is saved to the asset directory |
| 400 (File Already Exists) | indicates that the file already exists |

Sample Usage Scripts
Upload all files in a folder (Powershell)
This script uploads all files within a folder, C:\Proget\upload-files to a folder, uploaded, in an asset directory, internal-files:
This can be used when bulk uploading individual files located in a folder. For a more efficient solution of uploading a batch of files within an archive, use our Import Archive endpoint.
$apiKey = "a1b2c3d4e5"
$baseUrl = "https://proget.corp.local"
$assetdirectory = "internal-files"
$folder = "uploaded"
$localFolder = "C:\Proget\upload-files"
$headers = @{
"Content-Type" = "application/octet-stream"
"X-ApiKey" = $apiKey
}
Get-ChildItem -Path $localFolder | ForEach-Object {
$fileName = $_.Name
$apiEndpoint = "$baseUrl/$assetdirectory/content/$folder/$fileName"
$fileContent = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($_.FullName)
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $apiEndpoint -Method Put -Headers $headers -Body $fileContent -ContentType "application/octet-stream"
Write-Host "File '$fileName' uploaded to $apiEndpoint"
}
Example Output:
File 'assetcontent.bin' uploaded to https://proget.corp.local/endpoints/internal-files/content/uploaded/assetcontent.bin
File 'readme.txt' uploaded to https://proget.corp.local/endpoints/internal-files/content/uploaded/readme.txt
File 'logo.png' uploaded to https://proget.corp.local/endpoints/internal-files/content/uploaded/logo.png
