Linux Copy Folder Recursive Mac To A
Ansible provides the basic functionality of copying files and directories through the copy and fetch modules.The advantage of this method is that it works for folders, keeping the permissions of each file, the folder can be of any size and it can work with different file system formats, for example I used an external hdd with exfat to copy my tgz from a mac to a linux without any problem.Copy files in Linux, avoid the copy if files do exist in destination. For example, you want to copy test. Now, when youre in the command prompt, you can type Xcopy command as below to copy folders and subfolders including contents. Right-click Command Prompt from the list and select Run as administrator. Click Start and type cmd in the search box. Copy folders and subfolders and contents.
You can control this by setting the force parameter. - hosts: blocks- name: Ansible copy file to remote serverNote 1: If the file is already present on the remote server and if the source file’s content is different, then on running the task, the destination file will be modified. Since we are not specifying any permission for the file, the default permission for the remote file is set as -rw-rw-r–(0664). And then it will copy the file to the remote machine path specified in the dest path. The example below will copy the sample.txt file in the home directory of the current user( on the local machine), to the /tmp directory on the remote server. Copying files from a local machine to the remote serverBy default, the copy module will check the file set in the src parameter, on the local machine.
- hosts: blocks- name: Ansible copy multiple files with wildcard matching.- /tmp/hello* Creating backup of a file in the remote servers before copyWhile copying files, mistakes can happen. - hosts: blocksNote 2: If the file couldn’t be found on the local machine, then Ansible will throw an error similar to below.Fatal: : FAILED! => Drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Oct 9 14:28 devops_system1Drwx-rwx 2 root root 4096 Oct 9 14:28 devops_system2 ls -lrt /tmp2-r-xrwxr-x 1 root root 0 Oct 9 14:33 devops_system3 Copying all the files inside a folder that matches a pattern(wildcard)If you need to copy all the files in a directory that matches a wildcard character, then you can use with_fileglob.In the following example, all files that start with ‘hello’ in the /tmp directory of the local machine is copied to the remote server. The following task will only copy the file if the file does not exist on the remote server. If you don’t want the file to be modified if the source file is different, then you can set it to ‘No’. So it modifies the file by default.
The default value is ‘no’ for the backup parameter.For example, the following example will create a backup of the helloworld.txt in the /tmp directory of the remote server. The new file will be named by appending the timestamp and the original file name. If the remote file exists and if it is different from the file which is copied, then a new file will be created. So it would be helpful if a backup of the remote file is created on the remote server.Ansible copy module provides a ‘ backup’ parameter just for that. This is going to create a lot of headaches.
This is useful when you want to copy some log files from the remote servers to your local machine.By default, a directory named after each host you are connecting will be created in your destination directory(local machine). This can be done using the Ansible fetch module. Ansible blocks -m copy -a "src=~/sample.txt dest=/tmp" -s -i inventory.ini ansible blocks -m copy -a "src=~/copy_dir_ex dest=/tmp" -s -i inventory.ini ansible blocks -m copy -a "src=/tmp/hello6 dest=/tmp/hello7 remote_src=yes" -s -i inventory.ini Copying files from remote machine to the local machineYou can also copy the files from remote servers to the local machine.
