Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Premature EOF in jenkins-cli.jar

I am trying to use the CLI to build a job remotely instead of using
SCM polling. I have the CLI set up and I am just not sure what is
happening here to be honest. anyone have any insight?

$ java -jar _jenkins-cli.jar -s https://jenkins.<compoany>.com/hudson/
