title: Ansible: copy a directory content to another directory
body: <p>I am trying to copy the content of dist directory to nginx directory.</p>
  
  <pre><code>- name: copy html file
    copy: src=/home/vagrant/dist/ dest=/usr/share/nginx/html/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when I execute the playbook it throws an error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>TASK [NGINX : copy html file] **************************************************
  fatal: [172.16.8.200]: FAILED! =&gt; {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "attempted to take checksum of directory:/home/vagrant/dist/"}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I copy a directory that has another directory and a file inside?</p>
