Hi

Did you know?  
(…)

rsync must be installed on both the local and remote host.  
(…)  
Source: [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.9/modules/synchronize\_module.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.9/modules/synchronize_module.html)

In addition there are many notes for that modul (e.g. permissions) on that source.  
Thanks.
