How to upload a file to a compute¶
Step 1. Upload a local file¶
You can use the Bash component to upload any files to a compute.
Go to Artifacts / Upload artifact.
Select Local file.
Upload a file and select it (e.g.,
readme.txt).

(Alternative) Download a remote file¶
Alternatively, you can specify a remote URL to download a file from github or gitlab to the compute.
Go to Artifacts / Upload artifact.
Select Remote file.
Provide the URL of the remote file.
Figure 2. Upload a remote file¶
For example:
URL:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opentelekomcloud-blueprints/tosca-tutorials/masterFile:
README.md
In this example, the file README.md from Github will be downloaded to the compute node.
Note
We allow to download files from the following domains: .gitlab.com, .github.com, .githubusercontent.com, .t-systems.com, .rubygems.org, .treasuredata.com, .letsencrypt.org, .galaxy.ansible.com, .googleapis.com.
Step 2. How to use the uploaded file¶
Go to Artifacts / Configure.
Provide a script (e.g.,
bash_1_configure.sh)
Figure 3. Write a script to use the uploaded file¶
with the following codes:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Path to upload file: $upload"
# print the content of the file.
cat $upload
In the script, the environment variable $upload holds the path to the file on the compute.
Expected result¶
When the Bash component is executed on the compute, the deployment logs will print out the path to the uploaded file (e.g., /home/ubuntu/.yorc.../readme.txt) and its content.
