Using rcp v1.198.
I have redefined `make-backup-file' from the default of Emacs 20.4 so
that, when working with a remote file with rcp, the backup file is on
my local machine. This presently causes an error from rcp in the case
that you open a remote file F, alter it, and save it. The error is
that renaming across machines is not yet supported. The error is
properly descriptive, I think, when using the standard setting of
`backup-by-copying', which is nil.
With earlier versions of rcp (I can't tell you which), this was not a
problem.
When I change `backup-by-copying' to t, however, I get the following
error when trying to save the file. Even if I turn off backups
entirely by setting `make-backup-files' to nil, I get the same error.
rcp-handle-write-region: rsync failed for file
/r@rsynclocal:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home2/s/swift/public_html/index.html
The "rsynclocal" method is the same as the "rsync" method except I add
an option for a path that the remote sshd doesn't' like to give me:
("rsynclocal"
(rcp-connection-function rcp-open-connection-rsh)
(rcp-rsh-program "ssh")
(rcp-rcp-program "rsync")
(rcp-rsh-args
("-e" "none"))
(rcp-rcp-args
("--rsh=ssh" "--compress" "--timeout=30" "--rsync-path=~/bin/rsync"))
(rcp-rcp-keep-date-arg "-t")
(rcp-encoding-command nil)
(rcp-decoding-command nil)
(rcp-encoding-function nil)
(rcp-decoding-function nil)
(rcp-telnet-program nil)
(rcp-rlogin-program nil)))
<digression>
Since I have seen on this list several times that a release of rcp
breaks something fundamental, perhaps it is time to consider forking
rcp development into a stable and unstable version, the stable having
been proven adequate in a certain core functionality. The development
wrt more methods, more platforms, version control, filename completion
etc. need not disturb those who want rcp for the functionality it
already has.
</digression>
The contents of the debug buffer for the case when `backup-by-copying'
is t and `make-backup-files' is t follows, having started Emacs
afresh, set `rcp-debug-buffer' to t, loaded the remote file, made a
trivial alteration, and pressed C-x C-s:
