Thank you, Eric (sorry for the late reply).
We create the installation files in our build pipeline and then publish
these to an artifact repository ("outside" Jenkins) so the Copy Artifact
plugin could be used but would the require us to first copy the
installation files back to the workspace of the deployment job which is
time consuming.
In the end we decided to solve this by performing a network file copy from
the artifact repository directly to the server that is deployed. By
executing a PowerShell script locally (Jenkins agents on the servers) in
our deployment job and then starts the actual installation.
Best regards,
Edin
