Jenkins transferring 0 files using publish over SSH plugin

Question

I want to transfer files from my post build Jenkins workspace to a location on a remote server. Build goes smoothly for all steps in the job but always transfers 0 files.

Answer 1

My advices:

1. You should avoid using spaces in the Jenkins job name!
   • in your case: name 20eyes Build can produce some troubles in file/directory matching
2. You should use relative paths and not absolute paths!
   • in your case: /var/lib/jenkins/... should be replaced by relative path from job's workspace
3. You should NOT copy whole workspace!
   • specify only appropriate files from last build (e.g. WAR file from target directory)
4. You should check documentation and examples of Publish Over plugins:
   • examples will be very usefull for You
