# File > Resource File in pulumi-local. Resource File in pulumi-local. Pulumi type: `local:index/file:File`. `name` is the Pulumi resource name. Nested object fields are documented under that object. They are not arguments of this resource. ## Example Only required arguments are set. A string in angle brackets stands in for that argument. Any other value is an option or example written in the SDK description. ```ts import * as local from "pulumi-local" const resource = new local.File("file", { filename: "", }) ``` ## Arguments | Property | Type | Required | Description | | --------------------- | -------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `content` | `string` | no | Content to store in the file, expected to be a UTF-8 encoded string. Conflicts with `sensitiveContent`, `contentBase64` and `source`. Exactly one of these four arguments must be specified. | | `contentBase64` | `string` | no | Content to store in the file, expected to be binary encoded as base64 string. Conflicts with `content`, `sensitiveContent` and `source`. Exactly one of these four arguments must be specified. | | `directoryPermission` | `string` | no | Permissions to set for directories created (before umask), expressed as string in [numeric notation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File-system_permissions#Numeric_notation). Default value is `"0777"`. | | `filePermission` | `string` | no | Permissions to set for the output file (before umask), expressed as string in [numeric notation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File-system_permissions#Numeric_notation). Default value is `"0777"`. | | `filename` | `string` | yes | The path to the file that will be created. Missing parent directories will be created. If the file already exists, it will be overridden with the given content. | | `sensitiveContent` | `string` | no | Sensitive content to store in the file, expected to be an UTF-8 encoded string. Will not be displayed in diffs. Conflicts with `content`, `contentBase64` and `source`. Exactly one of these four arguments must be specified. If in need to use _sensitive_ content, please use the `local.SensitiveFile` resource instead. | | `source` | `string` | no | Path to file to use as source for the one we are creating. Conflicts with `content`, `sensitiveContent` and `contentBase64`. Exactly one of these four arguments must be specified. | ## Outputs Computed outputs are produced by the provider. They are not constructor arguments. | Property | Type | Computed | Description | | --------------------- | -------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `content` | `string` | no | Content to store in the file, expected to be a UTF-8 encoded string.
