Hi all!

I am facing an issue in my role.  
I am trying to configure a mikrotik router with the “routeros\_command” module.  
It works just fine. But, if I do a scp from my local machine to the router and then use the “routeros\_command” module, I get the error below:  
ansible.module\_utils.connection.ConnectionError: Socket is closed

Is there something to do about the ssh connection (reset it or anything else)?

Thank you for your feedback.

David
