Dear @Arshia Awan,

PuTTY is the windows implementation of SSH. With this software, you can connect to a remote host securely. Then you are on the command line.

To import CSV file form command line is not meant to be done. There are some tools like CLI interfaces, but the reommended way of importing CSV files is as a Jira Administrator via the UI.

I recommend to follow this article. And be careful on the command line - you can do a lot of harm to the system, depending on your rights.

So long

Joe,

Jira has a specific functionality to import from CSV:

Let me know if this solves your issue

@Gaston Valente, that's exactly what I already posted, what was wrong?

@Thomas Deiler, i think both write the same answer at the same time but you submit yours first.

Thanks. Our client wants to move to JIRA from Rally. We have received the XML backup file instead CSV. How to import rally backup XML file into JIRA. What to consider to avoid any issues? Also we are trying to figure out once import take place, how to locate the xml file on JIRA server using Putty?

Dear @Arshia Awan,

I found this article about Ralley import. Probably it helps. But they recommend to do it with CSV instead of XML.

So long
