My approach in the CompleteConfiguration repos is to use the concatenated_file_part define to put file parts onto the client and then locally concatenated them all on the client with the concatenated_file define which does some shell magic internally. You seem to try to use a server side function ( file() ) to create a similar effect. You just have to be aware that functions always run on the server.
