Hii,

I am trying to transfer my files from ansible linux to sftp server.

  1. How to add sftp host in my ansible host file.
  2. I had added scp_if_ssh=False in [ssh-connection] in ansible.cfg
  3. This sftp server not have any ssh where i have only sftp connectivity.
  4. Is there any way to connect ansible to sftp and the port using here is 4222
  5. In the host file i added host in this way as below

[sftp]
sftp.exampletest.com ansible_port=4222

The error is

root@sgplubuntu125:/etc/ansible/playbooks# ansible sftp -m ping
sftp.exampletest.com | UNREACHABLE! => {
“changed”: false,
“msg”: “Failed to connect to the host via ssh: command-line line 0: Missing argument.\r\n”,
“unreachable”: true
}

can anyone help me please

Thanks,
