I am attempting to copy a file from the local ansible server to the managed hosts (oracle linux).
I would like to push the file out to the different managed hosts because if I call back to the Ansible server from the hosts them I have to login, provide password etc.
Pushing from the ansible host is easier because the ssl keys have been copied to all the hosts and therefore is passwordless.
I haven’t found another way to do it other than using shell or command, copy seems to be for transfering files within the client file system
I also looked at delegate_to: but there really wasn’t enough documentation for me to figure out how to make that work.
This is what I have so far but it’s reaching back to the ansible server for the file which requires a login.
Any help would be appreciated.

This is exactly what the copy module does, it copy a file from Ansible controller aka localhost to the remote host.
The only way to transferring files within the client is to set "remote_src: True" on the copy module.
This is what I have so far but it's reaching back to the ansible server for
the file which requires a login.

- hosts: 'ud-mgmt-srv'
become: true
get_info: false
tasks:
- name: Check httpdate rpm
stat: path=/tmp/htpdate-1.1.0-1.el7.rf.x86_64.rpm
register: st
This is not needed, copy module handles this.
- name: Copy httpdate rpm
command: scp 10.236.1.57:/tmp/htpdate-1.1.0-1.el7.rf.x86_64.rpm /tmp/.
when: not st.stat.exists
- name: Copy httpdate rpm
copy:
src: /tmp/htpdate-1.1.0-1.el7.rf.x86_64.rpm
dest: /tmp
Thank you for that clarification.
The copy: mdule works as you described.
