Config Required

content (string) - This is the content to copy to destination. If destination is a file, content will be written to that file, in case of a directory a file named pkr-file-content is created. It's recommended to use a file as the destination. The templatefile function might be used here, or any interpolation syntax. This attribute cannot be specified with source or sources.

source (string) - The path to a local file or directory to upload to the machine. The path can be absolute or relative. If it is relative, it is relative to the working directory when Packer is executed. If this is a directory, the existence of a trailing slash is important. Read below on uploading directories. Mandatory unless sources is set.

destination (string) - The path where the file will be uploaded to in the machine. This value must be a writable location and any parent directories must already exist. If the provisioning user (generally not root) cannot write to this directory, you will receive a "Permission Denied" error. If the source is a file, it's a good idea to make the destination a file as well, but if you set your destination as a directory, at least make sure that the destination ends in a trailing slash so that Packer knows to use the source's basename in the final upload path. Failure to do so may cause Packer to fail on file uploads. If the destination file already exists, it will be overwritten.
