(adding puppet-users@ back in case others have better information on
handling filebuckets)

Dear Jeff,
Thanks for your guidance.
Basically I want to achieve sending files from Windows to unix.
I missed "push the file from windows to unix" in your original email, my
apologies.
In that case, I propose the following (reference
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#filebucket)
## site.pp
filebucket { 'main':
path => false,
}
File { backup => 'main', }
node default {
file { 'D:\Puppet\Anshita.txt':
ensure => 'file',
}
}
This should back up Anshita.txt IF there is a change. I don't know how
it will work when the content isn't specified, but if filebucket will
work for you at all in this, that will work. Now here is the problem:
filebucket, being designed for large deployments, does not simply store
the file in a directory on puppetmaster where it's easy to get to, but
in /var/lib/puppet/bucket by md5 sum. To retrieve the file you will
Instead need to use the puppet filebucket command as
find /var/lib/puppet/bucket/ -name paths | xargs grep Anshita.txt
to get the md5sum of the file, then
puppet filebucket restore /tmp/Anshita.txt (md5sum from previous)
Things to note:
You cannot specify *path* for the remote filebucket. This is an explicit
limitation.
You must still have a *file* resource in the node definition for your
Windows agent, or Puppet will be unaware of the file to back it up.
You do not need to specify your server in the filebucket statement
unless it is different than your puppetmaster.
My command for finding the md5 of the file (*find...xargs*) is for
Puppet community edition, not Puppet Enterprise.
Jeff
