Hello Dick Thank you for your reply. I'm thinking about this download of multiple files not for a single Jenkins job but for numerous different jobs each of which will require a different list of files. Thus I figured: Step 1 get a file which contains a list of URLs Step 2 get a file from each of the URLs identified by the file got in step 1
Because I envisage these steps being repeated in numerous similar jobs I would like configuration to be as simple as possible. Use of a plugin should give less scope for error than pasting in a script.
