However, I've never heard about such a situation all the years I'm using Tramp. And there is still the backup file which could be moved back, isn't it? > Another (and probably better) option may be to add "which command &&" or > similar to all decoders. Maybe. But there are also other dangerous commands in Tramp, which must be protected then.

There are situations, Tramp cleans up its whole cache (for example, when a connection has been broken). And there are the `tramp-cleanup-*' commands, which give the user the same mean, interactively. > Regards, > Dmitry Best regards, Michael. _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
