Question about Folder Copy

Hello,

I would like to know how I would copy a folder with files to all my workstations.

TIA!

The basic steps I would follow:

  • create an archive of the folder (BFArchive if you want to use the extract command, or use zip)
  • upload archive to root server as an upload
  • create a fixlet/task with an action with a prefetch command to download that archive
  • extract that archive into the right location in the action
  • deploy to a test machine to see if it works
  • if satisfied, deploy to other machines

Is this for windows specifically? or many OSes?

This I think is something that could be done easier in the software distribution wizard, but not certain how easy.

This does give me the idea that I could theoretically make a REST API automation to do this, which would be cool. This is a starting point, but could do a lot more: besapi/examples/upload_files.py at master · jgstew/besapi · GitHub
