Using curl to publish to Artifactory not working

I have a (Gradle-built) project that produces a JAR at <projectRoot>/build/libs/myapp-<version>.jar. I am now trying to write a curl command that publishes that JAR to Artifactory like so:

curl -i -X PUT -u myuser:12345@$ -T "build/libs/myapp-0.1.20.jar" "http://artifactory.example.com/libs-release-local/com/me/myapp/myapp/0.1.20/myapp-0.1.20.jar"

When I run this in the console I get:

HTTP/1.1 100 Continue

HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8
Content-Language: en
Content-Length: 961

<html><head><title>Apache Tomcat/7.0.56 - Error report</title><style><!--H1 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:22px;} H2 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:16px;} H3 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:14px;} BODY {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:black;background-color:white;} B {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;} P {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;background:white;color:black;font-size:12px;}A {color : black;}A.name {color : black;}HR {color : #525D76;}--></style> </head><body><h1>HTTP Status 403 - </h1><HR size="1" noshade="noshade"><p><b>type</b> Status report</p><p><b>message</b> <u></u></p><p><b>description</b> <u>Access to the specified resource has been forbidden.</u></p><HR size="1" noshade="noshade"><h3>Apache Tomcat/7.0.56</h3></body></html>

I have verified that myuser is a valid Artifactory user with publish capabilities (especially for libs-release-local) and that the password is correct. I am aware that there is an Artifactory-Gradle plugin, but for reasons outside the scope of this question I am not interested in it; I want to get this working using curl.

The 403 response you are getting is returned by Tomcat and not Artifactory. You can determine this by looking at the Server header value which is Apache-Coyote/1.1 instead of Artifactory/3.8.0 and by the fact that the reponse context type is text/html rather than application/json (Artifactory uses JSON for REST API error message).
This usually indicates that you are using a wrong URL, probably missing the artifactory webapp context. For example, deploying to

http://localhost:8081/libs-release-local

instead of 

http://localhost:8081/artifactory/libs-release-local

In the case the issue was related to Artifactory user permission, you should have a got an error message similar to

{
  "errors" : [ {
    "status" : 403,
    "message" : "User myuser is not permitted to deploy 'com/me/myapp/myapp/0.1.20/myapp-0.1.20.jar' into 'libs-release-local:com/me/myapp/myapp/0.1.20/myapp-0.1.20.jar'."
  } ]
}
