Just tried it and keep on receiving: FAILED - Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: http://***/job/**//config.xml this is happening on all the jobs i'm trying to import. Any ideas? I don't think I could create an anonymous account (like some have done) and give it admin

The latest version should have a username/password prompt when you go to import, at least it did last time I tried. Are those fields not showing up for you? slide On Fri, Feb 28, 2014 at 8:58 AM, SamiSam say...@gmail.com wrote: Just tried it and keep on receiving: FAILED - Server returned

The plugin displays the credentials window. I do enter my credentials and can query the remote server which returns a list of jobs under the $VIEWNAME i specify in the URL. When I do try to import the jobs, that's when I get the 403 error. On Friday, February 28, 2014 11:00:09 AM UTC-5,

Can you use the CLI? If so, something like this: java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s https://oldjenkins.yourdomain.com login java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s https://newjenkins.otherdomain.com login curl 'https://oldjenkins.yourdomain.com/view/All/api/python?pretty=true' | awk -F\ '/name/{print $4}'

Thanks for the suggestion Patricia.. Unfortunately, no access to CLI.. I could have easily copied the directory where the jobs reside in and call it a day.. but that's no an option. sigh On Friday, February 28, 2014 9:56:42 AM UTC-5, SamiSam wrote: Hi there, Can someone recommend a way to

You can test to see if this has a hope of working by doing the following: 1) check to see if the CLI works: java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s JENKINS_URL who-am-i --username=YOUR_USERNAME --password=YOUR_PASSWORD Replace YOUR_USERNAME and YOUR_PASSWORD as appropriate. 2) If that works and

Thank you so much for the instructions. I'm sure this will be a great aid to many users in the community. Unfortunately, it did not work. I've tried it from 3 different boxes (1 aix, 1 centos and a windows box) and received the same exception: Exception in thread main java.io.EOFException:
