Is there a way to pass a file as input before i run a pipeline in vsts (File Parameter in VSTS)
Is there a way to pass a file as input before i run a pipeline in vsts? . i just want to browse the file from my local desktop (Without checking the file into source control ).
I used to do this as file parameter in jenkins. Trying to do the same in vsts
Note: This is for password file encryption task using ansible (where i can't check in sensitive information file to source control ).

Ideally, this is not the recommended approach for accessing the secrets/sensitive information through a file (from your local desktop). You need to store the secrets in a secure centralized place likeAzureKeyVaultthen you can access the secrets from the vault.

However it's totally upto you to make a decision, for answering your question. You can try to build your piepline using your own custom agent (instead of hosted agent) then you can refer your local desktop as a network path, then access the file.
