+Files
+=====
+
+Puppet comes with both a client and server for copying files around. The file
+serving function is provided as part of the central Puppet daemon,
+puppetmasterd, and the client function is used through the source attribute of
+file objects. Learn more at
+http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/File_Serving_Configuration
+
+You can use managed files like this:
+
+    class myclass {
+      package { mypackage: ensure => latest }
+      service { myservice: ensure => running }
+      file { "/etc/myfile":
+        source => "puppet://$servername/modules/mymodule/myfile"
+      }
+    }
+
+The files are searched for in:
+
+    $modulepath/mymodule/files/myfile
