Error Unable to access jarfile agent jar

Question

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to run Jenkins command to set windows system as a node in Jenkins. But it shows me the below error.

C:\Users\Nadeem Akhter>java -jar agent.jar -jnlpUrl http://10.0.0.106:8080/computer/Windows_Node/slave-agent.jnlp -secret 3c2c8b04aab0a735d5d72f3ce1c9cec43c5fc4a74e1ba4e39f9a2bc7b14319c0 -workDir "D:\myjenkins"
Error: Unable to access jarfile agent.jar

How can I solve this error?

Hello@akhtar,

Whenever we try to connect windows system as a node in Jenkins, we use JNLP protocol. This JNLP will try to find one agent.jar file in windows system to connect with Jenkins master node. 

So to avoid any error, make sure your windows system has agent.jar file.
