Can a Jenkins build access the archived artifacts from itself

Question

I'm using Jenkins and have the "Archive the Artifacts" step at the end of my builds to archive them into a zip file.

Instead of using this step, I'd like to use a script to push the artifacts to a remote server at the end of the build. The server I'm pushing to uses a REST API / HTTP PUT request in a script to upload files.

Note that I'm looking to access the artifact created in the same build. So if I'm on build #5, I want the artifacts from build #5, not build #4.

Is there any way to access this zip file with a script, in the same build that it was created in?

I need to upload this zip remotely and don't want to create another job to do so.

You could probably use one of the "Publish Over" plugins to upload your artifacts at the end of a build.

The goal of the Publish Over plugins is to provide a consistent set of features and behaviors when sending build artifacts ... somewhere.
