You can either

1. Save config file during build operation as artifact, or
   1. Use SCM operation to export configuration file and save it as artifacts. Artifacts are available at deployment time.
2. Extract it from SCM during deploy workflow or
   1. Use SCM operation to export configuration file prior to running deploy operation.
3. Use absolute path to location on server. (not recommended as it requires manual setup on server)
