Rudder

Hello,

If I understand correctly, you want to share file wity "root": https://www.rudder-project.org/doc-4.1/_how_to.html#_share_files_between_nodes ? Please tell us if the description miss some documentation or example.

I'm not trying to share a file from a single node to another, I'm trying to upload a file at a specific path from ALL nodes, up to a place on the rudder server. Pretty much the exact reverse of what the "Download a file from the shared folder" technique does. Let's say I want to upload all the host files from all the nodes under management, I would specify "/etc/hosts" and I would expect the technique to retrieve all of the /etc/hosts files from all servers and they would show up as node1_hosts, node2_hosts, etc. in a directory on the rudder server.

I was able to mainly produce what I wanted by creating a technique in the technique editor using the "Sharedfile to node" method, and specifying root for the uuid since there will not be an associated download for the file, however in the directive created from this technique, there is no text box to specify file name. This forces me to create a different technique for each different file I would want to upload. I'm trying to just create 1 technique and use different directives based on this technique to upload different files.

Is there a way to modify this technique so that when the directive is created from it, it gives a text input box to specify file name?

Technique can now have parameter, I'm closing that ticket.
