notes:
- - The "win_copy" module recursively copy facility does not scale to lots (>hundreds) of files.
- Instead, you may find it better to create files locally, perhaps using win_template, and
- then use win_get_url to fetch them from your managed hosts into the correct location.
+ - The "win_copy" module is best used for small files only.
+ This module should **not** be used for files bigger than 3Mb as
+ this will result in a 500 response from the winrm host
+ and it will not be possible to connect via winrm again until the
+ windows remote management service has been restarted on the
+ windows host.
+ Files larger than 1Mb will take minutes to transfer.
+ The recommended way to transfer large files is using win_get_url
+ or collecting from a windows file share folder.
