copy files in the remote machine

Hi,

Is there a way to copy files idempotently in the remote machine (copy a file from one location to another in the same remote machine) ?

The only aproach i can think of is to run two actions: a fetch and then a copy, but I find it a bit ugly. If I use the command or shell modules, then the copy process is not idempotent (or there’s a way to do that?)

Thanks in advance,

Luis

You can do:

shell: rsync …
