Bug #13887
Updated by François ARMAND about 6 years ago
'File download (Rudder server)' technique lets you copy things from `/var/rudder/configuration-repository/shared-files/` to somewhere else.
You have three option to choose what to copy:
- Only this file
- The whole content of the folder
- The folder, its content, and all the subfolders
What I undestand, if I have:
<pre>
.../configuration-repository/shared-files/
└── dir
├── dir2
│ └── foo.txt
└── hollymolly.txt
</pre>
And that I set "dir" in source path, "/tmp" in destination path, is that the content will be:
- Only this file
<pre>
/tmp/
└── dir/
</pre>
But it actually does nothing.
- The whole content of the folder
<pre>
/tmp/
├── dir2 (empty)
└── hollymolly.txt
</pre>
And it's that!
- The folder, its content, and all the subfolders
<pre>
/tmp/
└── dir
├── dir2
│ └── foo.txt
└── hollymolly.txt
</pre>
But it actually skips "dir" (only content is copied)
Moreover, folder is used a couple of time, when `directory` is used in (many more) other places.
Change into:
- Only this file (or nothing for a directory)
- The direct whole content of the directory (one level)
- The whole content of the directory (recursively)
(and: Apply the sticky bit to the whole folder? (caution, use with care) => Apply the sticky bit to the whole directory? (caution, use with care)
(even so, that does not seems very consistent. Why the sub-directory is created in second case if skipped in the first? But it can be ok)
