/usr/bin/ssh: Permission denied

[anardil]

Hello,

I have an issue "Permission denied" when I try to perform an SCP in a task template. But if execute the playbook in CLI, I have no problem.

      - name: Copy nat rules
        become: yes
        shell:
          cmd: sshpass -p {{ firewall_password }} scp {{ playbook_dir }}/../fw_commandes/list-nat.nsrpc {{ firewall_username }}@{{ firewall_IP }}:/data/Main/ConfigFiles/Event
        become_user: root
        become_flags: '-s /bin/sh'

I have this error:

May be problem with ssh user name?

Greetings!

Just asking: why not use the ansible.builtin.copy module that specifically is made for copying files? (instead of raw scp)
The nice thing about using Ansible is that you don't need crazy shell commands (IMHO)
