Hi Chris, It definitely works but I would not use it for large files due to the serialization/deserialization overhead issues, that it will checksum the file at each run, and that it will transfer the entire file should the transfer need to occur.
I would recommend using something like rsync or creating a native package for your operating system and using the 'package' resource as the best way to get the files onto the system.
