So pulling in synchronize between two remote servers works like a champ: --- - hosts: web14 remote_user: jlouthan tasks: - name: Get current timestamp local_action: command bash -c 'date +%Y-%m-%d.%H%M' register: timestamp run_once: true

I guess what I am asking is how do you rsync pushing from one remote server to another (as oppose to pulling which I can successfully do). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
