How to set scp_if_ssh = True for a group?
It's simple to set this variable in an ansible.cfg but it makes sense only for hosts that do not have sftp (and most likely python as well). So I have a group for routers – is it possible to set this variable in group_vars?
Solution 1:
I'm not sure about group vars but you can set that option from the inventory file via ansible_ssh_transfer_method=scp.
Might also work for group vars.
Checked with version 2.3 of Ansible.
