Thanks Dick!

I've started to get that impression after searching for quite some time.  

Currently using a shell command like this to get only specific files down:

wget -r -nd --no-parent -A '*pattern*' http://site.com/path/to/file/  

Hence why I was thinking it might be possible in Ansible.  

Cheers,
TK
