Hi Experts,

I am facing following error message when trying to copy a .exe file of size 500MB using win\_scp module.

[WARNING]: FATAL ERROR DURING FILE TRANSFER: HTTPSConnectionPool(host=‘172.17.11.112’, port=5986): Read timed out. (read timeout=120)

**Target Machine:** Windows 7 SP1 with powershell v3.0 (KB2842230 is installed)

**Ansible version used:** 2.5.0

**Task details:**

- name: Copy Installer to windows 7 machine  
win\_copy:  
src: ‘/home/sushanta/installer.exe’  
dest: C:\Workspace\

Tried increasing following parameters in inventory file:

ansible\_winrm\_operation\_timeout\_sec: 100  
ansible\_winrm\_read\_timeout\_sec: 120

Thanks,  
Sushanta
