Failed to deploy artifacts: Could not transfer artifact

Sonatype Nexus Repository
1

I have installed Nexus Sonatype on a Linux server and it is up ad running. I am trying to deploy a jar file for our project from my workstation to that remote server The jar file is shareware obtained from the internet and I am trying to deploy it to the maven-releases repository on the remote server but its not going so well.

This is the command I am trying to execute:

mvn deploy:deploy-file -Durl=https://192.168.200.40:8081/repository/maven-releases -Dfile=commons-codec-1.15.jar -DgroupId=org.apache.commons -DartifactId=commons-codec -Dpackaging=jar -Dversion=1.15 -DrepositoryId=maven-releases

This is the result:
