Transfer files from Server A to Server B

[Shivam Arora]

Hi Community Members, 

I am writing an Ansible playbook for which I want to copy files directly from Server A to Server B directly, skipping the Ansible node, i.e., I do not want to use Fetch and Copy module. I have tried the synchronize module to do the said task but however, it fails with the following error:

\"item\", \"changed\": false, \"cmd\": \"sshpass\", \"item\":ABC.csv \"msg\": \"[Errno 2] No such file or directory\", \"rc\": 2}​​​​​​\nfailed

If anyone has done something similar, can you guide us how we can accomplish this? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Shivam

Hi Raja 

Can you please share a sample playbook where you need to fetch files from one node and transfer those file to multiple nodes.

It looks like the sshpass binary is missing, probably on the controller.

Dear Raja,

do remember:

1. Use delegate_to in order to make synchronize module moves between managed nodes

2. from serverA to serverB you should ensure a connection mechanism is in place, preferably non interactive. For e.g. ssh passwordless

example playbook:

---

- hosts: se2

  tasks:

  - name: sync files between managed hosts

    synchronize:

          src: /tmp/foo

          dest: /tmp/bar

    delegate_to: se1
