[ryad9...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I must use scp in ansible, i know module synchronize, copy but i d'ont find the module scp.

There is junos_scp but i d'ont know how he works :/

Is there a way to transfer files or directories by scp as the command linux scp -rp

Thanks community ansible !! ;)

Regards,

[Sebastian Meyer]

Not via a module. You'll need to use command for that.

Hi Sebastian,

Ok.

Thanks for your answer

The copy module uses the transfer mechanism from the 'connection
plugin', which, if using ssh CAN be scp, but it also tries sftp and dd
by default, but you can control this via configuration (see scp_if_ssh
setting).

I see that setting, but I'm not sure how it works with the copy module.
The copy module itself seems to only call Pythons shutil.copy* which
works on local paths.

At what point does the src file get transferred to the remote host? If
someone could point me at the file/function doing that, that'd be great.

The copy module itself does not copy across machines, only on the same
machine, as I said, the connection itself does the copy from
controller to target (temp location) then executes the 'copy module'
against that temp location (unless remote_src=true in which case copy
module does all the work).
