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.
- Files that already exist at I(dest) will be overwritten if they are different than the I(src).
- This module is also supported for Windows targets.

description:
- Allows you to override the default behavior of appending hostname/path/to/file to the destination.
- If C(dest) ends with '/', it will use the basename of the source file, similar to the copy module.
- Obviously this is only handy if the filenames are unique.
- This can be useful if working with a single host, or if retrieving files that are uniquely named per host.
- If using multiple hosts with the same filename, the file will be overwritten for each host.
