Thanks Jeff. Just to confirm on terminologies, is push different from copy ? I want to copy file from windows D:/puppet/Anshita.txt to Unix in /root/Harshita. My basic requirement is to copy the war and tar files from windows to Unix when the build is over in windows. Then when the tar is copied to Unix location I want to untar it.
Since I m new to puppet I was experimenting on file transfer . Once I m successful in my experiment I would explore more for automation. Kindly suggest.
