Hi Everyboby,

Currently, I have requirement to transfer file from remote node to ansible server. Ansible fetch module can do it but it can't transfer big size file. Who could help how to resolve it with ansible module except using rsync?

Thanks

Hello everyone!

I have the same concern. I want to be able to transfer files from the ansible server (or another server) to a remote server. For unattended installation of java, jboss, apache, mysql...

Saludos!

You can use "copy" but I think there is a 1G file size limit. How big a file do you need to copy?

If you need to pull down a huge file, how about using http or scp to pull the file from the Ansible server?
