Commands

aio-aem aem:upload FILES_FOLDERS

Upload asset binaries to AEM

Upload asset binaries to AEM
Uploads one or more files to a target AEM instance. The upload process uses the
direct binary access algorithm, so the target instance must have direct binary
access enabled; otherwise the upload will fail.

The process will upload the files or directories (optionally recursively) provided in
the command.

Note that the process will only work with AEM instances that use basic
(i.e. non-SSO) authentication.
