short_description: Fetches a file from remote nodes

description:

|
- This module works like M(copy), but in reverse. It is used for fetching
|
|
files from remote machines and storing them locally in a file tree,
|
|
organized by hostname. Note that this module is written to transfer
|
|
log files that might not be present, so a missing remote file won't
|
|
be an error unless fail_on_missing is set to 'yes'.

- A directory to save the file into. For example, if the I(dest)
|
|
directory is C(/backup) a I(src) file named C(/etc/profile) on host
|
|
C(host.example.com), would be saved into
|
|
C(/backup/host.example.com/etc/profile)
