Niraj, I'll give you an example that works for me. But it uses modules. If you don't so far, you really should start.
Given this structure below an environment below '/etc/puppet' on my Puppet master: . ├── manifests ├── modules │ ├── backup │ │ ├── files │ │ └── manifests │ ├── exim │ │ ├── manifests │ │ └── templates ... Now for copying a file named 'backup-key.dss' to the clients, this file must be below 'modules/backup/files'. And the source attribute will look like this: source => "puppet:///modules/backup/backup-key.dss", So you may simply want to check your paths. If this does not work, you should provide your manifest and your directory structure.
