Ansible copy module not working recursively--or with dirs

[John Harmon]

It is probably something I am doing wrong--I will be the first to admit it.

I want to copy files from my ansible server to a bunch of remote hosts.  I need this to work recursively.  Unfortunately it just copies the file1.txt file at the root of the src, and nothing else.  Thoughts?

File structure:

# tree .
.
├── dir1
│   ├── dir2
│   │   └── file3.txt
│   ├── dir3
│   │   └── file3.txt
│   ├── dir4
│   │   └── file3.txt
│   └── file2.txt
└── file1.txt


PLAYBOOK (part of a role):
---
# tasks file for push_files
- name: Push files to remote server
  copy:
    src: "{{ item }}"
    dest: "/root/src/Collection/"
    owner: root
    mode: 0770
    recurse: yes
  with_fileglob:
    - files/*

My ansible version:
ansible-2.6.3-1.el7.noarch

fileglob only does files, not directories, you want filetree or just
pipe 'find files/*' .. or `src=files/` and avoid the loop

I thought I had tried that before, but I guess not.  It appears to be copying them now with src=files, but it was dog slow.  1.6MB took about 1 minute to copy.

for speed you want rsync or synchronize module, copy is not meant for
bulk copying.
