Hope the following image with tree command output helps to understand this point. Ansible would take care of creating the new directory at the remote server In Type#2, Ansible copies the directory to the remote server along with the content of the directory. In Type#1 only the contents of the src directory would be copied to the destination directory. While the preceding key points look similar, they are not.
owner: Owner of the file at the destination server once copied.dest: destination path on the remote server/host where the file should be copied to.src: source file path on the local machine where the playbook or ad-hoc command is invoked ( can set ansible to look for the file in remote server using remote_src as well ).copy: module name we are going to use in this task.become: this is to tell ansible to execute the corresponding task as a sudo user root unless specified any other user with become_user.tasks: all the tasks (plays) would be defined under this.hosts: A target host group should be already defined in the ansible inventory aka hosts file.name: Ansible Copy Example Local to Remote
