Hi Glen,
You may use copy and fetch module as shown below:
In the below playbook the files would be fetch from source machine and
stored temporarily on the control node and then copied to the destination.
---
- hosts: src_apps
tasks:
- name: List of files to be copied
command: "find /opt/dummyfiles/ -type f"
register: list_files
- name: Fetch the file from the source to control node
run_once: yes
fetch: src={{item}} dest=buffer/ flat=yes
with_items: "{{ list_files.stdout_lines }}"
- hosts: dest_apps
tasks:
- name: Copy the file from control node to destination
copy: src=buffer/ dest=/opt/
OR
If you do not want to use the control node to store the files, you may use
the command module and execute the SCP command from the source machine
itself. Below is the playbook:
Please note, before executing the playbook you would need to enable
password-less SSH between the two remote nodes.
---
- hosts: src_apps
tasks:
- name: List of files to be copied
command: "find /opt/dummyfiles/ -type f"
register: list_files
- name: Execute SCP command
command: scp -r {{item}} ServerB:/destination
with_items: "{{ list_files.stdout_lines }}"
Hope this is helpful !
Best Regards,
Shivharsh
