Hi All, Is there anyway to copy files from one remote node to another without using delegate\_to in ansible. Regards, Sivaraman P ---

I just posted this… [https://groups.google.com/g/ansible-project/c/AHSouJ\_nM8g](https://groups.google.com/g/ansible-project/c/AHSouJ_nM8g) If I could figure out how to do what I am doing, that would be a solution you are trying to solve. We have servers at remote locations, sometimes users will move from one remote locale to another remote locale, so a GPO maps the home drive to their current remote locale server and we need to copy files from one server to another.
