Hi Rambius, The Copy module takes a file from the local (control) machine and sends it to a target. The Fetch module takes a file from the target and pull it to the local machine. Using the modules in combination will 'delegate_to' will not help you either, since that will perform the action against the delegated target instead.
In your scenario I would use the 'command' module though in conjunction with the 'creates' option like: command: creates={{ backup_utils_dir }}/backup.config cp {{ backup_utils_dir }}/backup.config-example {{ backup_utils_dir }}/backup.config Regards, Nico -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
