Copy static files from one Jekyll post to published site

Question

I would like to copy any static file (image, PDF, etc.) found in a post folder inside _posts to the folder in which the HTML version of the post will be, inside _site.

Let's say I have this structure:

_posts/
  2016/
    06/
      09-so-long-cloudflare/
        2016-06-09-so-long-cloudflare-and-thanks-for-all-the-fissh.md
        cloudflare-logo.png
        performance-report-sample.pdf

My Jekyll settings for permalinks are:

# Permalinks
permalink: /:year/:month/:day/:title/

I would like to generate the site like this:

2016/
  06/
    09/
      so-long-cloudflare-and-thanks-for-all-the-fissh/
        index.html
        cloudflare-logo.png
        performance-report-sample.pdf

I've found this plugin that should do this, but I can't make it work. I get this error:

jekyll 3.1.6 | Error:  undefined method `name' for #<Jekyll::Document:0x007fb7a0892b50>

Any idea?

Thanks!

Well, despite having no Ruby knowledge, I managed to build a plugin out of this old Gist! \o/

I hope this will help people with the same needs.
