Hi 👋
Did you solve this? I am getting the same.

@jdeluc2aa,
Ensure that the URL you're providing is the JFrog Platform URL and not the Artifactory URL. In the initial message posted in this issue the URL seem to end with /artifactory, when it actually shouldn't. Also try using the --url command option instead of --artifactory-url.

hey, yeah, I figured it out after a few tries 😄
Thanks.

@eyalbe4 I'm confused by this since the docs indicate the --url option should end with /artifactory

Command option	Description
--url	JFrog Artifactory API endpoint URL. It usually ends with /artifactory

Are the docs in need of an update, or does --url behave differently than --artifactory-url?

Think I figured it out upon much closer reading of the docs.

What the docs I linked previously are saying is if you don't configure a server, you must provide --url with /artifactory on each subsequent call to JFrog CLI. The "or" is easy to miss:

To authenticate yourself using your JFrog login credentials, either configure your credentials once using the jf c add command or provide the following option to each command.

I think providing examples for the configure command at that point in the documentation or else linking to the configuration docs from there may be more clear.

Elsewhere in the docs for adding / configuring we find this which matches @eyalbe4's comment:

| --url | [Optional] JFrog platform URL. |

The same --url option name expecting different types of urls in different contexts also doesn't help.
