Copying build artifacts to external location

[Dev]

Hi,

Please suggest on how can we create a task to copy build artifacts to some directory on corporate network or to Nexus. So far I have to task in a Job i.e.

1. Source Code Checkout
2. MSBuild

I want to copy the build output to some network location. I know I can write some script to copy it to target directory but whats the source location. Where does Bamboo copy the build output?

You can use the Artifact Download task and the copy it with a Script task afterwards.
Or you copy it right after your MSbuild task.

You do not need to know the source location, that folder can change anyway. Simply use relative paths:

:: assumes you created an zip artifact in prev. tasks
copy /y /z workdirsubfolder\myartifact.zip \\server\share\folder

So, either you run this right after you created the artifact or you use Artifact Download before.

Note: We have the agents running under a windows service account, that way we do not need to type passwords in the task. Instead, we give that service user write access to some network locations.
