How can I copy a file from machine A to machine B and machine C on different location. ie:



On machine A I have file abc and I want to copy it on the /tmp area of machine B and /opt area of machine C.








I tried this so far:








My inventory file:








[webserver]



machine-B dst=/tmp



machine-C dst=/opt








Playbook:








- hosts: webserver



tasks:



- name: Transfer file from ServerA to ServerB



synchronize:



src: /home/niraj/ansible_testing



dest: “{{ hostvars[item][‘dst’] }}”



with_items: “{{ groups[‘webserver’] }}”



#dest: /home/niraj



#mode: pull







delegate_to: machine-A
