Puppet users - Sep 2012 - How can you copy directories from puppet master to the puppet client?

Is there a way to copy directories and the subdirectories under the parent 
directory with puppet master to puppet client? How would I do that?

Yes: use the file server, and the `file` type with `recurse`.

So if I have in my module in files the directory and all the files and 
directories under neath it. If the direcctory is not there I should be able 
to copy all of it with the syntex below.
file { "/srv/www":
      ensure => "directory",
      recurse => inf, true,
      owner => "root",
      group => "root",
      mode => 755,
     }

Either ''inf'', or ''true'', not both, but yes -
that should do what you want.

These permissions will apply to *everything* in the tree.  If you omit
those statements it will copy the values from the files on the master.

/etc/puppet/modules/websharedlibs/files  I have the directory /ehrweb which 
has the directory and files below but on the client it just creates the 
parent directory and nothing else, client is ct-eng-web02-devint server. My 
code is 
[root@ct-eng-pup manifests]# more init.pp
class websharedlibs {
  file { "/opt/caretools/webapps/ehrweb":

      recurse => "true",
      owner => "root",
      group => "root",
      mode => 755,
     }

I made a change to include the source so the file looks like this below but 
now when I run puppet agent --server ct-eng-pup --test it hangs a bit but 
it actually works. Thanks a lot Daniel for pointing me in the right 
direction.
 
class websharedlibs {
  file { "/opt/caretools/webapps/ehrweb":
      ensure => "directory",
      source => "puppet:///websharedlibs/ehrweb",
      recurse => "remote",
      owner => "root",
      group => "root",
      mode => 755,
     }
}

The only problem is it just keeps on looping around and never stops coping.
