Matthew Swift <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
THE PROBLEM: If you are browsing a remote directory with rcp.el,
ange-ftp, and dired ("scp" method, but I think all methods are
effected) and you press `C' to copy a remote file to the local
machine, the minibuffer will claim that the copy is successfully made,
but it will not be made. (Yes, I know that better error-catching is
already on the the todo list.)
Okay, well, you did it before I even found the time to have a look at it
:-)
This problem was not present in version 1.126.
I wonder if the following problem is related with the one you describe:
I wasn't able to read a remote file. The messages claimed that the file
was copied to the local /tmp directory, but it apparently wasn't.
! (default-directory (if (rcp-rcp-file-p default-directory)
! (concat (or (getenv "TMPDIR")
! (getenv "TEMPDIR")
! "/tmp")
! "/")
! default-directory)))
Just use temporary-file-directory. Maybe, just do that for any call to
call-process.
