Is it possible to deploy artifacts from local folder in Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager 3.x

Question

I use Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager 3.5.2 and want to add artifacts to nexus blob store from local folder (where nexus is lockated). I couldn't find solution in Nexus documentation and tryed to find in the Net - unsuccessfully.

Is it possible and how to do this (maybe Nexus has some plugin)?

thx for any help .....

Update: I have found a solution -> see Answers.

See here: sonatype.org/nexus/2017/09/08/uploading-to-nexus-repository-3? Basically not possible yet, but planned/started. – Divisor

@Tom - my question about deploying artifacts from local directory , I saw post: How to manually deploy artifacts in Nexus Repository Manager OSS 3 – Burdine

Then this answer applies well: https://mcmap.net/q/210800/-how-to-manually-deploy-artifacts-in-nexus-repository-manager-oss-3 – Divisor

Basically, the idea is that there is no additional option for upload if the JAR is already physically on the Nexus host. – Divisor

Yes, JAR is located in a server in some directory and y want to add one to Nexus blob ( and Nexus will cash this file). I don't want to make own http-server and refer Nexus to it. – Burdine

I have found a temporary solution(I checked Nexus documentation and did not found paragraph about it) => I have shared directory (use Apache httpd) and connected one to created new Nexus proxy repository. Now when I want to add my own artifacts I can upload ones into shared directory in my remote server.

My temporary solution:
