A quick note about a new org-babel feature: You can now use header argument :dir to alter the directory that is current when code is executed. The directory may be a location on a remote machine, specified using tramp syntax[1]. In this case the code will be executed on the remote machine.
If a relative path for file output is supplied using :file, then it will be interpreted relative to the altered current directory. But while file output may be created on a remote machine, numeric/text results are returned to the local buffer as normal. The :dir header arg will affect most languages; retrieval of remote results is currently available for shell, R, ruby, python, perl and clojure. New sessions can use :dir (and can be remote), but pre-existing sessions are currently unaffected by :dir. Here's an example of running code remotely: #+begin_src sh :dir /davi...@oak.somewhere.uk:/tmp :results output echo "Executed by `whoami` on `hostname` in `pwd`" #+end_src #+results: : Executed by davison on oak in /tmp And here's an example of mixing a relative :file path with :dir #+begin_src R :file images/1.png :dir ~/project plot(1:10) #+end_src #+results: [[file:/home/dan/project/images/1.png]] Further documentation at [2].
