Answer 1

Checkout syncronize module at Ansible Documentation: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/posix/synchronize_module.html

Also, be aware to stablish direct ssh connection between targets.

Hint: It's possible to activate ssh on windows and stablish connection to the linux machine. Take care of the risks!

Other way is to use fetch and copy to do the triangle copy using Ansible server as elbow.

Answer 2

Today I putted the SSH in Windows how @guistela sayed.

I Installed "Posh-SSH" on Windows host with ansible:

1. Manual Download from: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Posh-SSH .
2. Send file to Windows host contains files to send.
3. Install with microsoft steps: Installing PowerShell modules from a NuGet package .
4. Possh-SSH use commands, more info here: powershell-scp-to-transfer-files-between-windows-linux :

• Open ports
• Send file
• Close ports

This 4 general steps permits send files from windows to linux hosts.
