Hi, again, Peter.

Indeed that's a strange message.

I have an up-to-date workspace (as of last night at least) and for me

asadmin deploy --upload=true ...

works...both from the same system as the server and from a physically
separate one.

I don't have a pure installation of a recent nightly or promoted build
installed on my system. Sorry if I missed it - did you mention what
build you are using? Most of the server-side logic for the deployment
processing and the uploaded file handling has been unchanged for some
time. The CLI has gone through some recent work but I'm not seeing any
problems.

Did your server.log contain anything interesting from the failed deployment?

Issue 8408 https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=8408
describes an intermittent failure like what you've seen. Does the error
persist if you retry the deployment? (The issue seems to indicate a
first-time problem -- occasionally.)
