Channels support the upload of a wide range of artifacts, allowing you to store and share resources. This flexibility makes channels versatile for various use cases, ensuring that different types of files can be managed and accessed as needed. For example, a Miniconda installer can be packaged in different formats depending on the platform, such as .exe or .dmg. By supporting multiple file types, channels enable seamless sharing of these platform-specific resources, making them easily accessible to others.
There is no built-in security check on uploaded artifacts. Performing manual security checks is strongly recommended. Administrators and users with upload permissions should verify file integrity before uploading to ensure they are safe and that no malicious files are present.

Uploading files

If you are uploading a package file, it must be properly prepared first. For more information, see Uploading package files.
To upload a file to a channel:
  1. Navigate to the channel you want to upload your package to.
  2. Select Upload File.
    Upload file button
  3. Open the Type dropdown menu and select your applicable file type.
    When uploading a generic artifact file, you must assign an artifact name and file version. The name is considered to be the artifact itself, with the intent being that each named artifact contains variations of the same file at different versions or for different platforms. For example, if you want to upload Miniconda installers for distribution, you might name the artifact Miniconda_Installers. If the entered artifact name already exists, the uploaded file is included with the existing named artifact’s files.
  4. Select Select File, locate the file on your computer, and then select Upload.
    You can also drag and drop the file you’d like to upload.

Managing uploaded files

For managing package files, see Managing packages. Uploaded files that are not packages can be moved, copied, or deleted directly from the Generic Artifacts tab of any channel.
