That totally depends on what user account you are running Chef as. Chef will have the rights of the account it runs as. If that account doesn't have rights to your home directory or that file, then it won't be able to open it to read/copy the content to your new file location.

I am using chef on my local machine and trying to access a local folder under my home. Could it be that chef isn't able to read my home folder?

Does the user account chef is running as have access to the file share you are connecting to?

Hello Julien,
DId you try http://user:password@server.example. [http://user:password@server.example.com/]
This wroked well thanks a lot.
However I am still having an issue when prefixing with file:/// instead of an http.
See my error below:
I am using chef version:
09:06 $ chef --v
Chef Development Kit Version: 0.6.2
chef-client version: 12.3.0
berks version: 3.2.4
kitchen version: 1.4.0
If i put this in my browser : file:///home/kiril/Documents/cq5.6-adv-dev-usb-2013-02-21/Distribution/CQ5/license.properties I get the file i need. So i cannot understand why chef doesn't reach it. The documentation says that file http & https are supported.
Thanks in advance,
Kiril

Can you please advice.
What do you mean "doesn't work properly"? What error do you get?
Moreover when I use a http://adress [http://adress] behind an authenticated form I can't
find the way to provide the username password. This issue
https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-3786 [https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-3786] seems to provide this
functionality but I can't find how to use it.
DId you try http://user:password@server.example.com/ [http://user:password@server.example.com/] ?
