Error - Artifactory response: 405 Method Not Allowed

Question

I'm trying to download a file from my Jfrog artifactory to my local machine with CLI command:

jfrog rt dl --user *username* --password *password* -url https://*domain*.jfrog.io/artifactory/*my-folder-name*/ --flat=false * c:/jfrog/

I'm getting:

Log path: C:\Users\Administrator\.jfrog\logs\jfrog-cli.2020-08-19.18-38-11.3780.log 
{   "status": "failure",   
    "totals": {
        "success": 0,
        "failure": 0   
    } 
} 
[Error] Download finished with errors, please review the logs.

From the logs:

[Error] Artifactory response: 405 Method Not Allowed

but, when I'm running jfrog rt ping I'm getting

"OK"

The reason you are getting 405 is that JFrog CLI is trying ping the Artifactory using the --url https://domain.jfrog.io/artifactory/my-folder-name/. To overcome this you should try to download using the below JFrog CLI,

jfrog rt dl --user username --password password -url https://domain.jfrog.io/artifactory/ "<repository_key>/" --flat=false * c:/jfrog/

For example, if I want to download any artifacts from the "generic-local" repository under "jars" folder then my JFrog CLI command would be as below,

$ jfrog rt dl --user admin --password password -url http://localhost:8081/artifactory "generic-local/jars/" --flat=false

It should download all the artifacts under "generic-local/jars" under the current directory.
