How do I automatically move artifacts from Team City to virtual directories?

Question

Team city publishes its artifacts to a dynamically changing URL-- the version and build number keeps incrementing.

How can I automate the download of such a file?

Does team city even have a feature that I'm not aware of for automatically moving artifacts from the build server's artifact repository to the staging/test server?

Answer 1

What I usually do is bake the publishing / copying /deployment (ie- downloading) of things directly into the build script that TeamCity uses instead of setting things up as artifacts.

Alternatively, you could set up a new build config that would automatically start after your first build is done. It would take your project's artifacts as dependencies and publish them.
