I don't think filebucket/file is really the technique you want here. You
might be able to do this with exported file resources, but you should
instead consider using cygwin and ssh for this, called from the end of
your build job. It will be a far simpler and more performant solution.

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.
Many thanks

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.
