short_description: Copy files to remote locations
description:
- The C(copy) module copies a file from the local or remote machine to a location on the remote machine.
Use the M(fetch) module to copy files from remote locations to the local box.
If you need variable interpolation in copied files, use the M(template) module.

options:
src:
description:
- Local path to a file to copy to the remote server; can be absolute or relative.
If path is a directory, it is copied recursively. In this case, if path ends
with "/", only inside contents of that directory are copied to destination.
Otherwise, if it does not end with "/", the directory itself with all contents
is copied. This behavior is similar to Rsync.

description:
- 'Remote absolute path where the file should be copied to. If I(src) is a directory, this must be a directory too.
If I(dest) is a nonexistent path and if either I(dest) ends with "/" or I(src) is a directory, I(dest) is created.
If I(src) and I(dest) are files, the parent directory of I(dest) isn''t created: the task fails if it doesn''t already exist.'

mode:
description:
- "Mode the file or directory should be. For those used to I(/usr/bin/chmod) remember that
modes are actually octal numbers. You must either add a leading zero so that Ansible's
YAML parser knows it is an octal number (like C(0644) or C(01777)) or quote it
(like C('644') or C('1777')) so Ansible receives a string and can do its own conversion from
string into number. Giving Ansible a number without following one of these rules will end
up with a decimal number which will have unexpected results. As of version 1.8, the mode
may be specified as a symbolic mode (for example, C(u+rwx) or C(u=rw,g=r,o=r)). As of
version 2.3, the mode may also be the special string C(preserve). C(preserve) means that
the file will be given the same permissions as the source file."

- The M(copy) module recursively copy facility does not scale to lots (>hundreds) of files.
For alternative, see M(synchronize) module, which is a wrapper around C(rsync).
- For Windows targets, use the M(win_copy) module instead.
