Modify source file used for the Copy on the target machine

I'm using the Copy module to transfer a 10G file from my machine to the remote /tmp dir. However, Copy uses an intermediate folder inside home and I need to transfer the file directly to /tmp because /home doesn't have enough space.

Is it possible to control the src path used by the Copy module?

Thanks

In your ansible.cfg change the "remote_tmp" to a location where sufficient space available or you run your playbook as below:

ANSIBLE_REMOTE_TEMP=/dir1/some_dir/large_space/ ansible-playbook copy.yml

Official Documentation for ANSIBLE_REMOTE_TEMP with shell plugin
