Hi Guys,

I have configured Ansible in the local system. I want to copy multiple files to the remote systems using Ansible. How can I do that?

Hi@akhtar,

You can use the copy module in your Ansible playbook. This module can copy one or more files to the remote system. But you need to use the item keyword in your playbook for multiple files as shown below.

- name: Copy files
  copy:
    dest: /etc/yum.repos.d/
    src: files/{{ item }}
  with_items:
  - yum.repo
  - docker.repo
  - K8.repo
