[users at bb.net] Transferring Directories to worker

[honas grael]

I seem to be in an awkward situation. My setup is essentially a host
machine(master) that can pull from our centralised version control
system(its not CVS, but some other vcs, that is not one of the many good
choices the buildbot supports out of the box). Using the command line
utility that comes with our centralised version control system I can pull
the branch I' interested in, and I'll get a local copy of all the files I
need on the host machine(master).

However to do a build I need to transfer all the files(directories) that I
have pulled to the worker, which is a VM that connects to the host
machine(master).
Once all the files and folders are transferred to the worker(vm) then I can
execute the rest of the build steps on the worker.

I have come across DirectoryUpload which transfers files from the worker(in
my case a vm) to the host.

But is there anyway to transfer files from the Host(master) to the
worker(vm)

Regards
