title: Specifying a source in puppet
body: <p>I am writing a puppet manifest on puppet master to monitor a folder with a list of files on a agent.</p>
  
  <p>I do not know how do i specify a remote value for the "source" attribute of my file resource type, since the folder is located on agent and i do not want to copy the folder with its content on my master since that would unnessaryly utillize some space.</p>
  
  <pre><code>file { '/XYZ/ybc/WebSphere85dev/AppServer/properties':
  ensure  =&gt; directory,
  owner   =&gt; wsuser,
  group   =&gt; webapp,
  source  =&gt; "??????",
  recurse =&gt; true,
  show_diff =&gt; true,
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What value should i specify for source?</p>
