How to secure copy using Puppet?

Question

I have been trying to copy a directory from my master to different hosts. I have a script that checks out a code and puts it in certain directory. My script looks like below.

#!/bin/bash
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@server101:2401/cvs/PXI/
cvs checkout -r 2_a Jcode
mv  Jcode /etc/example/puppettest/

Now I want to copy this Jcode to my hosts.

Assuming you are trying to copy /etc/example/puppettest to your nodes you would have to create a mount point in ${configdir}/fileserver.conf then you can use the recurse parameter of the file resource.

This following has not been tested:

${configdir}/fileserver.conf

[jcode]
  path /etc/example/puppettest/
  allow *

file declaration

file { '/path/to/directory/on/node':
  ensure  => directory,
  recurse => true,
  source  => 'puppet:///jcode/Jcode'
}
