Hi Jordan,
What I have per your advice is :
playbook:
------------------------------
- name: Copies file to Windows
win_copy:
src: /ansible/ansible.cfg
dest: C:\Users\YRunner\Desktop\test1
Then I run it and get:
-------------------------------
root@Raspi_Ctrl:/ansible# ansible-playbook ./playbook/test1.yml -i
/ansible/hosts
ERROR! Syntax Error while loading YAML.
The error appears to have been in '/ansible/playbook/test1.yml': line 3,
column 15, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
- name: Copies file to Windows
win_copy:
^ here
