This is accomplished by setting the SSH C(ControlSocket) to C(none).
- Set this option to C(true) to allow multiplexing and reduce SSH connection overhead.
- Note that simply setting this option to C(true) is not enough;
- Set this option to V(true) to allow multiplexing and reduce SSH connection overhead.
- Note that simply setting this option to V(true) is not enough;
You must also configure SSH connection multiplexing in your SSH client config by setting values for
C(ControlMaster), C(ControlPersist) and C(ControlPath).

- rsync must be installed on both the local and remote host.
- For the C(synchronize) module, the "local host" is the host `the synchronize task originates on`, and the "destination host" is the host
`synchronize is connecting to`.
- The "local host" can be changed to a different host by using `delegate_to`. This enables copying between two remote hosts or entirely on one
remote machine.

The user and permissions for the synchronize `src` are those of the user running the Ansible task on the local host (or the remote_user for a
delegate_to host when delegate_to is used).
The user and permissions for the synchronize O(src) are those of the user running the Ansible task on the local host (or the remote_user for a

- The user and permissions for the synchronize `dest` are those of the `remote_user` on the destination host or the `become_user` if `become=yes` is active.
- In Ansible 2.0 a bug in the synchronize module made become occur on the "local host". This was fixed in Ansible 2.0.1.
- Currently, synchronize is limited to elevating permissions via passwordless sudo. This is because rsync itself is connecting to the remote machine
and rsync doesn't give us a way to pass sudo credentials in.
- Currently, M(ansible.posix.synchronize) is limited to elevating permissions via passwordless sudo.
This is because rsync itself is connecting to the remote machine and rsync doesn't give us a way to pass sudo credentials in.
- Currently there are only a few connection types which support synchronize (ssh, paramiko, local, and docker) because a sync strategy has been
determined for those connection types. Note that the connection for these must not need a password as rsync itself is making the connection and
rsync does not provide us a way to pass a password to the connection.
- Expect that dest=~/x will be ~<remote_user>/x even if using sudo.
- Expect that O(dest=~/x) will be V(~<remote_user>/x) even if using sudo.
- Inspect the verbose output to validate the destination user/host/path are what was expected.
- To exclude files and directories from being synchronized, you may add C(.rsync-filter) files to the source directory.
- rsync daemon must be up and running with correct permission when using rsync protocol in source or destination path.
- The C(synchronize) module enables `--delay-updates` by default to avoid leaving a destination in a broken in-between state if the underlying rsync process
- The C(synchronize) module enables C(--delay-updates) by default to avoid leaving a destination in a broken in-between state if the underlying rsync process
encounters an error. Those synchronizing large numbers of files that are willing to trade safety for performance should disable this option.
- link_destination is subject to the same limitations as the underlying rsync daemon. Hard links are only preserved if the relative subtrees
of the source and destination are the same. Attempts to hardlink into a directory that is a subdirectory of the source will be prevented.
