actually
source file is also on windows server ( which is also the target server)
do we need to mention any remote_host ?
- name: Copy a single file where the source is on the remote host
win_copy:
src: C:\Temp\foo.txt
dest: C:\ansible\foo.txt
*remote_src: yes <-------------------------use this
*- name: Copy a folder recursively where the source is on the remote host
win_copy:
src: C:\Temp
dest: C:\ansible
* remote_src: yes <-----------------------use this*
*With regards*

In essence the remote_src parameter is a Boolean:

thank you all
it worked finally.
i can start working on rest of the modules now.
