Hi@akhtar,

You can find the win_get_url module. This module is used to download files from a URL in the Windows system. You can see the below example.

- name: Download earthrise.jpg to specified path
  win_get_url:
    url: URL
    dest: C:\Users\RandomUser\earthrise.jpg

The question is how to download folder, or fileS, not single file

Hi,

You can use the copy module as well, as shown below.

- name: Ansible copy directory to the remote server
    copy:
      src:/Users/mdtutorials2/Documents/Ansible/copy_dir_ex
      dest:/Users/mdtutorials2/Documents/Ansible/tmp
