I want to pass File as parameter in Jenkins. I would like to trigger the Jenkins build from remote machine and upload the file from remote machine and I am expecting Jenkins to pick the file from same machine.

But, when I tried to upload a file remote machines, it is always look up to Jenknins WorkSpace instead of taking uploaded file from remote machine.

Is there any way to configure Jenkins, it has to take same file which I have uploaded from remote machine?

I want to upload my testng.xml file from remote machines to run the scripts.

Update your configuration as follows: relative path
