Puppet users - Jun 2013 - Copying files from Windows host to CentOS guest

I have a Vagrant-controlled VM and I am trying to copy in files and 
directories when the VM gets provisioned. I have tried file:///, drive name 
with slashes and drive name with backwards slashes. Cannot get any of those 
to work. Also, no amount of Googling for relevant terms has turned up 
results for how to create a "puppet:" protocol directory mapping
pointing
to somewhere on my hard disk. How is that supposed to work?

file { "/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf":
  source => "file:///E/.../httpd.conf"
}

file { "/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts":
  ensure => directory,
  source => "E:/.../vhosts",
  recurse => "true"
}

file { "/etc/php.ini":
  source => "E:\...\php.ini"
}

What error messages are you getting?  Does running the agent with --debug 
output enabled tell you anything new?

The puppet: protocol cannot map directly to a file; it involves connecting 
to a puppetmaster''s built-in file server, or at least something
emulating
that.

If you were going to copy the file manually (i.e. via the ''cp''
command),
what would the fully-qualified source filename be?  You should be able to 
use that as the value of the ''source'' property.

Are you certain that the desired source file is in fact accessible to the 
agent?
