I don't think win_copy can collect from a share like you are trying to do
in the example above.
The assumption is that the source file you are copying is on the ansible
controller.
One trick you could use is to run smbclient on the ansible controller to
collect the files you want to deploy to your windows clients first, then
you can win_copy them across.
You might be able to use script to collect files from a share but you are
likely to need to pass credentials to the script running on your windows
machines (windows makes a distinction about whether or not you are logged
in as an interactive user - if you are not, such as when you are using
remoting - then different permissions apply and you may not have access to
the remote share).
Hope this helps,
Jon
