Use ftp as source for file

[Илья Захаров]

Hi there! I want to get files which are missing on the nodes on FTP

So for test i write something like this:

file { '/home/user1/conf/tempconf1.xml' :

      ensure => present,

      source => 'ftp:///192.168.209.23/temp',

}

and i have a error "Cannot use URLs of type 'ftp' as source for fileserving"

So what does i need to do that i can use "http" or "ftp" source for files ??

Thanks!

Hi,

support for HTTP is a long standing feature request.

https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1072

It's currently work in progress, you can expect it in version 4.1,
perhaps even 4.0. As for FTP, I'm a little doubtful that support will go
mainline any time soon, or at all.

In the meantime, a common workaround can be implemented using `exec`,
roughly:

$file = '/home/user1/conf/tempconf1.xml'
$url = 'ftp://192.168.209.23/temp'
exec {
"get-$file":
command => "/path/to/ftpclient $url -o $file",
creates => $file,
}

Please note that the URL should use but two slashes after the colon,
seeing as it includes a host address.

HTH,
Felix

Hi,

instead of using exec’s you might want to dig into existing modules and their defines, types and providers:

https://github.com/camptocamp/puppet-archive
https://github.com/maestrodev/puppet-wget

When using exec resources you have to ensure by yourself that the exec runs only in case of changes needed.
An exec should not get executed on every puppet agent run.

hth,

Martin
