Hi Naeem,

The Syntax error thrown is due to incorrect indentation in below block of code.

> - name: Download File From FTP  
> get\_url:  
> url: ftp://admin:abc123@172.19.54.10:22/home/admin/TestFtp/AM\_431\_AccessManagerService\_Linux64.tar.gz dest:/installer/NAM/AM\_431\_AccessManagerService\_Linux64.tar.gz

Every “-” in YAML starts a new element and all the elements must be equally indented. In your YAML, there is an extra indent before “- name: Download File From FTP”.  
Also, the “url” key of get\_url module should be further indented to reflect correct mapping. This is why the “mapping values are not allowed in this context” error message was shown.

So the correct YAML code would be as shown below:
