Copying file from Master to slave

[Nikhil Bhoski]

I have my plugin which creates a file in the jenkins workspace. however if i configure slave and force the job to run on slave then i see file on slave is not getting created. 

I am using workspace.getRemote() to get the workspace path and Java File.copy() utility to copy the file in workspace.getRemote() path . However the file is not getting created on slave. Any suggestions to make it work ?

You want to use FilePath class as much as possible, it has methods that work regardless if it is on master or agent.

See the JavaDoc: https://javadoc.jenkins.io/hudson/FilePath.html

Additionally think carefully about the design of your code. Which part of the code should run on the master, which part on the slave. It might be also required to consider MasterToSlaveCallable.
