win_copy is still unfortunately not great for large files. From the testing that I did earlier in the year it is still slower than fetching the same size file via http and there seems to be a max size, although this isn't something I've hit myself.
What I do is add an http server (nginx) to my ansible controllers (there are lots of roles on galaxy to do this for you to chose from) and then use win_get_url to fetch the files back onto the windows boxes. You could use any web server but I can vouch for nginx working well. You can also use force=no with win_get_url which will only download files if they have a newer timestamp than the current version, and nginx sends the correct headers for this to work, so its a good combination. Happy to go into more detail if you need it. Hope this helps, Jon On Wednesday, August 31, 2016 at 3:23:19 PM UTC+1, Justin Dugan wrote: > > I have also tried unarchive which fails with the same error. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
