Ansible fetch only fetch specific file from directory not entire directory contents

[Vivek Kothawale]

Hi Team

While working with ansible fetch feature which is one of the best feature I found in ansible, I found that ansible fetch will only pull in the single file form remote machine it can not fetch (pull) entire directory contents

form remote machine which I found while running playbook I got below message fetch cannot work on directories, not transferring, ignored",Is this some kind of ansible fetch drawback or will this be resolve in new

feature ?

Please let me know

Thanks,
Vivek

According to the comments on the 'src' parameter of the module on
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/fetch_module.html:

The file on the remote system to fetch.
This must be a file, not a directory.
Recursive fetching may be supported in a later release.
