Before the copy module supported it, you could do recursive copy, but it required multiple tasks.You could also use ansible pull and have an 'agent', which simplifies it enormously.
I know many tools offer recursive copy, but doing it right with permissions, sudo/su and multiple hosts is much harder than most realize. The current copy and syncronize modules go a long way, but don't handle every possible case (and probably will never do), I haven't found any tool that does so. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
