Hi Vickey,

I understand you want to download repository from jfrog artifactory. The two ways to achieve this task are as follows:

1-Download through jfrog CLI:

We can use the jfrog CLI to download folders.The CLI can be downloaded with "cUrl" as follows:

$ curl -fL https://getcli.jfrog.io/v2-jf | sh

Run the executable as "./jf " after download. Please refer to https://docs.jfrog-applications.jfrog.io/jfrog-applications/jfrog-cli/install for other alternatives of installing jfrog CLI.

After installation, we can use the dl command of the jfrog CLI as follows:

$ jfrog rt dl example-repo-local/amd-64/ --include-dirs

This command will download the content of the amd-64 folder from the example-repo-local repository and will save it under the same structure locally on the machine.

2- Download through jfrog REST API:

As an alternative to jfrog CLI, we can also retrieve folders throgh jfrog REST API's.This allows to download the content of a folder as an archive file( 'zip','tar','tar.gz', and 'tgz').Please refer to https://jfrog.com/help/r/jfrog-rest-apis/artifactory-rest-apis for the same.

For more information on downloading folders from repository, please refer to following links.
