Can you tell me where am I going wrong ? how should I suppy the source directory to rundeck.

Answer 1

You must set the temp path in "Source Path" textbox with ${file.Upload} and set the file name on "Destination Path" textbox using "${file.Upload.fileName}" (like cp/mv UNIX command).
I leave a job definition that works (tested on Rundeck 3.3.1):
<joblist>
<job>
<context>
<options preserveOrder='true'>
<option name='Upload' type='file' />
</options>
</context>
<defaultTab>output</defaultTab>
<description></description>
<dispatch>
<excludePrecedence>true</excludePrecedence>
<keepgoing>false</keepgoing>
<rankOrder>ascending</rankOrder>
<successOnEmptyNodeFilter>false</successOnEmptyNodeFilter>
<threadcount>1</threadcount>
</dispatch>
<executionEnabled>true</executionEnabled>
<id>6df7eb26-7f0f-46ed-bb60-cec9eb21b28b</id>
<loglevel>INFO</loglevel>
<name>UploadJob</name>
<nodeFilterEditable>false</nodeFilterEditable>
<nodefilters>
<filter>name: remote</filter>
</nodefilters>
<nodesSelectedByDefault>true</nodesSelectedByDefault>
<scheduleEnabled>true</scheduleEnabled>
<sequence keepgoing='false' strategy='node-first'>
<command>
<node-step-plugin type='copyfile'>
<configuration>
<entry key='destinationPath' value='/home/user/${file.Upload.fileName}' />
<entry key='echo' value='true' />
<entry key='recursive' value='false' />
<entry key='sourcePath' value='${file.Upload}' />
</configuration>
</node-step-plugin>
</command>
</sequence>
<uuid>6df7eb26-7f0f-46ed-bb60-cec9eb21b28b</uuid>
</job>
</joblist>
Here the result.
