Hi Vince You can of course insert a Batch/Shell step that copies anything you 
want.

There is, under Build Environment section:

Run buildstep before SCM runs – from the Pre SCM BuildStep Plugin

Subject: Jenkins Plugin categories - upload /download

Hello
I'm searching for a plugin that I feel must exist already but I can't find it. 
I've got to thinking that perhaps the reason I can't find it is a weakness in 
the plugin categorisations.

The terms "upload" and "download" are well understood when the user's local 
computer is either the source or destination of the file transfer.

Local computer to remote computer is Upload
Remote compure to local computer is Download.

When neither computer is local to the user then use of these terms becomes open 
to interpretation.

There is a Jenkins plugin category named "Artifact uploaders". It mostly has 
plugins for uploading a build output to a place of publication.

What I'm looking for is a plugin for pulling files from a remote place into the 
Jenkins workspace for use by a build. You might categorise this as a download, 
if you do then you would expect to find it in a category of plugins whose name 
includes the word DOWNLOAD.

I've found no such category, my search for a plugin to get files from HTTP URLs 
listed in a file has proved fruitless so far. Thus I am contemplating writing 
my own plugin even though I feel sure such a plugin must already exist.

Vince
