文件管理的模块非常多，可以参考https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.3/list_of_files_modules.html， 包括acl, archive, copy, fetch, file, find, patch, replace, stat, synchronize, unarchive等等，比较常用的有copy, fetch, synchronize这些。
拷贝一个目录或文件到目标主机，脚本如下：
---
# synchronize
- hosts: axtestubuntu
tasks:
- name: copy local folder to remote host
copy: src=/home/axing/ansible/axtest/ dest=/home/axing/axtest/
运行一下，可以看到，.69的主机先没有axtest目录，运行剧本后就多了这个目录：
axing@ax:~/ansible$ ansible axtestubuntu -m command -a "ls /home/axing/"
xx.xxx.xxx.69 | CHANGED | rc=0 >>
sources.list
axing@ax:~/ansible$ ansible-playbook synch.yml
PLAY [axtestubuntu] **********************************************************************************
TASK [Gathering Facts] *******************************************************************************
ok: [xx.xxx.xxx.69]
TASK [copy local folder to remote host] **************************************************************
changed: [xx.xxx.xxx.69]
PLAY RECAP *******************************************************************************************
xx.xxx.xxx.69 : ok=2 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0
axing@ax:~/ansible$ ansible axtestubuntu -m command -a "ls /home/axing/"
xx.xxx.xxx.69 | CHANGED | rc=0 >>
axtest
sources.list
现在从.69的主机取得source.list文件，同步到.99的主机上，脚本如下：
---
- hosts: axtestubuntu
tasks:
- name: Fetch the file from the server69
run_once: yes
fetch: src=/home/axing/sources.list dest=/home/axing/ansible/axtest/ flat=yes
- hosts: axtestubuntu
tasks:
- name: Copy the file from master to axtest99
copy: src=/home/axing/ansible/axtest/sources.list dest=/home/axing/
运行之，可以看到：
axing@ax:~/ansible$ ansible-playbook syn2.yml
PLAY [axtestubuntu] **********************************************************************************
TASK [Gathering Facts] *******************************************************************************
ok: [xx.xxx.xxx.69]
TASK [Fetch the file from the server69] **************************************************************
changed: [xx.xxx.xxx.69]
PLAY [axtest99] **************************************************************************************
TASK [Gathering Facts] *******************************************************************************
ok: [xx.xxx.xxx.99]
TASK [Copy the file from master to axtest99] *********************************************************
changed: [xx.xxx.xxx.99]
PLAY RECAP *******************************************************************************************
xx.xxx.xxx.69 : ok=2 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0
xx.xxx.xxx.99 : ok=2 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0
axing@ax:~/ansible$ ansible axtest99 -m command -a "ls /home/axing/"
xx.xxx.xxx.99 | CHANGED | rc=0 >>
sources.list
也可以直接使用命令行：
1、从目标主机拷贝目录到本机（会连目录一起拷过来，就是会生成目录：/tmp/xx.xxx.xxx.69/home/axing)，如果不想创建目录结构的话加参数flat=yes
ansible axtestubuntu -m fetch -a "src=/home/axing/sources.list dest=/tmp/ mode=0600 owner=axing group=axing flat=yes"
2、从本地拷贝目录到目标主机
ansible axtest99 -m copy -a "src=/home/axing/ansible/axtest/sources.list dest=/tmp/ mode=0600 owner=axing group=axing "
3、目标主机文件移动（remote_src=true参数)
ansible axtestubuntu -m copy -a "remote_src=true src=/home/axing/sources.list dest=/tmp/ mode=0600 owner=axing group=axing "
使用 synchronize模块，ansible和目标主机必须都安装运行rsync软件包，剧本如下， 其中mode的push和pull分别代表上传和拷贝
---
# synchronize
- name: sync local folder to remote host
hosts: axtestubuntu
tasks:
- name: push local folder to remote host
synchronize:
mode: push
src: /home/axing/ansible/axtest/
dest: /home/axing/axtest/
写成命令行是：
ansible antest99 -m synchronize -a 'src=sources.list dest=/tmp/'
