cp.get-file

[Eliyahu Grumman]

Hi- I have a question regarding transfer files to minion. I try to use cp.get-file

salt 'eliyahu-VirtualBox' cp.get_file salt://home/ec2-user/salt/this.tar /home/eliyahu/build     # the first path is the path to file in master an  sec path is the dest in the minion.

response is  {'eliyahu-VirtualBox' : ' '}

in actual file not transferred. 

I read in the code this '' causes maybe because this salt path is not hash.

but I checked it with cp.hash_file salt://home/ec2-user/salt/this.tar on the local minion- and I get the hash number. but in my 'eliyahu-VirtualBox' again result is : ' '

how it really works? I try few ways =/ cannot reproduce this command..

Hello Eliyahu

Your source seems a bit odd, can you confirm what your "file_roots:" section looks like in your /etc/salt/master.

Do other state calls work?

Hi Eliyahu,

Are you trying to copy a file from the master to the minion? Or from the minion to the master?

[Eliyahu Grumman]

from master to minion.

is the source should be from the dircet of file_roots? where is it?  I didn't set this parameter in the master config. 

I thing that requires the full server source. 

I don't use states. I use CLI commands.

Using the cp module and source "salt://" requires that the files exist in a folder structure that Salt knows about - this by default is /srv/salt (defined in /etc/salt/master)

i.e. if you do the following

mkdir -p /srv/salt

mv /home/ec2-user/salt/this.tar /srv/salt

then the following should work

salt 'eliyahu-VirtualBox' cp.get_file salt://this.tar /home/eliyahu/build
