Issue in download file from FTP

[Naeem Khan]

Hi Everyone,
I am facing issue in executing roles using some shell script.
the task is
1. create one directory on remote host /installer/NAM
2. copy the installable from ftp (ip:172.19.54.10 username:-admin password abc123 ).
3. copy the installable  at  /installer/NAM
4. untar the installable
5. remove the installable file
6.execute the install.sh
below is the YAML please let me what is wrong in it i am unable to download file and subsequent steps.
Kindly reply ASAP or if some one have any sample YAML to download from FTP please share with me.

--YAML Begin--
---
# tasks file for ac.install
- name: make a new directory for downloading the installer
  shell: mkdir -p /installer/NAM
  #shell: cd /installer/NAM
  #register: make_directory
 - name: Download File From FTP
     get_url:
     url: ftp://admin:abc...@172.19.54.10:22/home/admin/TestFtp/AM_431_AccessManagerService_Linux64.tar.gz dest:/installer/NAM/AM_431_AccessManagerService_Linux64.tar.gz
 - args:

 #register: download_installer

- name: untar the downloaded builds

  args:
    chdir: "{{ dir_name.stdout }}"
  #register: run_installation

- debug:
    var: run_installation

The error appears to be in '/tmp/auto_install/ansible_install_script/roles/ac.install/tasks/main.yml': line 8, column 12, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

Hi Naeem,

The Syntax error thrown is due to incorrect indentation in below block of code. 

 - name: Download File From FTP
     get_url:
     url: ftp://admin:abc...@172.19.54.10:22/home/admin/TestFtp/AM_431_AccessManagerService_Linux64.tar.gz dest:/installer/NAM/AM_431_AccessManagerService_Linux64.tar.gz

Every "-" in YAML starts a new element and all the elements must be equally indented. In your YAML, there is an extra indent before "- name: Download File From FTP".

Also, the "url" key of get_url module should be further indented to reflect correct mapping. This is why the "mapping values are not allowed in this context" error message was shown.

So the correct YAML code would be as shown below:

---
- hosts: localhost
  tasks:

      - name: make a new directory for downloading the installer
        shell: mkdir -p /installer/

NAM
      - name: Download File From FTP
        get_url:

           url: ftp://admin:abc...@172.19.54.10:22/home/admin/TestFtp/AM_431_AccessManagerService_Linux64.tar.gz

           dest: installer/NAM/AM_431_AccessManagerService_Linux64.tar.gz

      - name: untar the downloaded builds
        shell: cd /installer/NAM
        shell: tar -zxvf AM_431_AccessManagerService_Linux64.tar.gz
        args:
           chdir: /installer/NAM/

      - name: removing the installer tar file
        shell: rm -r /installer/NAM/AM_431_AccessManagerService_Linux64.tar.gz

      - shell: sudo ls -d /installer/NAM/AM_431_AccessManagerService*

      - name: run the install script
        shell: sudo printf "Y\n1\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nY\nY\nY\n\nadmin\ninovell\nnovell\n" | ./install.sh
        args:
           chdir: "{{ dir_name.stdout }}"

      - debug:
           var: run_installation

Hope this is helpful !

Thanks,
