Ansible playbook for moving files from one node to another remote node

Question

I'm trying to move files from one node to another remote node and would like to know to write the Ansible playbook for it.

Also to be sure, I'm trying to move files not copy.

Answer 1

The best way to do this is:

copy file from a file to another and then delete the file from where you've moved it. Something like this:

- name: Copy files from foo to bar
  copy: remote_src=True src=/path/to/foo dest=/path/to/bar

- name: Remove old files foo
  file: path=/path/to/foo state=absent
