title: Copy ZIP file into Artifactory without any meta-data using Gradle
body: <p>I have a Spring Boot <code>2.x</code> project that uses Gradle <code>7.x</code>.</p>
  <p>I'm assembling a <em>distribution</em> of the artifact/service in a <code>zip</code> / <code>tar</code> file using the built-in Spring Boot task(s) provided. There is no meta-data associated with this asset, nor any need to add anything else to it.</p>
  <p>I would like to copy (or publish) this <code>zip</code> / <code>tar</code> file into Artifactory (using Gradle), but so far everything I see around that subject includes <strong>(1)</strong> the file itself (usually a <code>jar</code>), <strong>(2)</strong> module meta-data and <strong>(3)</strong> the <code>POM</code> file.</p>
  <p>Is there a way to accomplish what I'm looking for?</p>
