How to move/copy files locally with Chef

Question

I haven\'t yet come across a Chef resource that will copy/move files locally. For example, I want to download jetty hightide and unzip it. Once done, copy all the files into

Answer 1

Besides the way you've done it and accepted it, if you only wanted to run one command like you initially asked (copy or move), and not run a block of commands, then you could do it with the execute resource:

execute "copy_core" do
    command "mv /var/tmp/jetty-hightide-7.4.5.v20110725 /opt/jetty"
    user "root"
end

Maybe this will help someone else looking at this in the future.
