Is there a way to sync/upload assets to an asset canister via DFX with a command/config I know there is the ‘asset’ canister type that will create and sync in the background but I am looking for a solution to have a Motoko canister, with the Asset Canister Interface, be deployed and sync’d It seems like there is the crate [crates.io: Rust Package Registry](https://crates.io/crates/icx-asset) that can be used with the CLI, but was trying to avoid having more complexity and dependencies on rust/cargo ---

We have an old ticket laying around (note to self: [this one](https://dfinity.atlassian.net/browse/SDK-1418)) that would make this possible, but it would need a bit of design work. For now the `icx-asset` tool you found is the only option on CLI. For Rust code we also have the `ic-asset` crate (icx-asset is just a CLI wrapper around it), and for JS there is the `@dfinity/assets` package that I don’t know how up-to-date it is, but I know it works with the latest asset canisters. ---

The `@dfinity/assets` npm package is regularly kept up to date along with the rest of the `agent-js` suite
