My problem isn’t “the file didn’t copy”. I know why the file didn’t copy.
The question is, why did a zero-length destination file appear when the file didn’t copy? If the file didn’t copy, then my destination should not exist. --EbH From: ansible-project@googlegroups.com <ansible-project@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Brad Van Orden Sent: Wednesday, 3 October, 2018 10:21 To: Ansible Project <ansible-project@googlegroups.com> Subject: [ansible-project] Re: ansible fetch fails but creates zero-length file I think not using become is what is killing you. iptables is definitely only readable by root. Try turning "become" back on.
