Azure pipeline copy files from Azure repo to remote WIndows machine

Question

Hi everyone,

I'm learning to write an Azure DevOps pipeline. Just a simple task to copy files from an Azure repo to a remote Windows machine.

 trigger:
    - main
    stages:
      - stage: Deploying
        jobs:
          - job:  Deploying
            displayName: Copying files to test machine
            steps:
             - task: WindowsMachineFileCopy@2
               inputs:
                  SourcePath: '<one of the current project's repos>'
                  MachineNames: '192.168.***.***'
                  AdminUserName: '<admin>'
                  AdminPassword: '$(Password)'
                  TargetPath: 'c:\Folder\'

The pipeline failed with [error]The current operating system is not capable of running this task. That typically means the task was written for Windows only. For example, written for Windows Desktop PowerShell.
Copying files through SSH would be a solution as well, but I would love to avoid having to setup all the keys and stuff, especially if later I need to work on multiple target machines.
Would be grateful for any suggestions from you. Thanks.
