I will take a look at this when i get home from work in the next few days and work this out.
I presume i do have the right module and win_copy does allow Windows to windows copy then?. Only reason i ask is because of this in the documentation " The win_copy module copies a file on the local box to remote windows locations." When i read that back it suggests to me the local box would be the Ansible host/management box?. Or would in your opinion a different module be better for windows to windows?. For example the win_shell with a copy-item command?. Which in my case my ansible host is a Linux mint machine. Again thank you for your response and taking the time out to reply and help!
