Hello, I am pretty new to ansible with windows support. I am wondering if there is a module that can copy files from my Ubuntu host to my Windows host? Thanks

Not quite yet. I’m working my way through other open Windows issues and PRs.

Take a look at this email thread [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ansible-devel/jHh0-VzzPVU](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ansible-devel/jHh0-VzzPVU) for the most recent discussion on file/copy modules (which would also add template support). You could try the code from those gists by copying them to a library/ directory alongside your playbooks.
