   be uploaded to a server. The ``ref`` is the full reference to the artifact, it can be either a recipe 
   reference or a package reference. The ``artifacts_folder`` is the folder containing the files to be 
   uploaded, typically the ``conanfile.py``, ``conan_package.tgz``, ``conanmanifest.txt``, etc. The
   ``signature_folder`` contains the folder in which the generated files should be written.
