This is not the same:

  * copy module copies from the controller (where you run the
    ansible-playbook command) to the client
  * cp -f copies a file locally from client to itself

Try with command or shell module with cp -f.

        copy module with force yes automatically replace it. Otherwise

            Okay got it. Is there any specific module that we can use to
            replace a complete file in remote server?

            Thank you for your help.

                What is happening when you try to use force: yes?

                *force*
                bool
                        

                  * *Choices:*no
                  *
                    *yes* ←

                        
                the default is |yes|, which will replace the remote file
                when contents are different than the source. If |no|,
                the file will only be transferred if the destination
                does not exist.
