Re: tramp (2.1.6-pre); ssh problems from cygwin to Linux

thanks for looking into this.  when I press ? in dired after teh attempt to 
copy the file, I get this explanation of the error:

Copy [-p] `/ssh:me <at> computer:/home/me/.dvipsrc' to `/home/me/.dvipsrc' 
failed:
(file-error . touch failed)

Copy [-p] failed for 1 of 1 file

Yes, indeed. Tramp tried to modify the time stamp of the local file
copy with the command "touch". This didn't work; likely Tramp didn't
find the "touch" command in your Cygwin environment. Could you check
this?

Best regards, Michael.

Re: tramp (2.1.6-pre); ssh problems from cygwin to Linux

touch seems to be available, at least under bash it is:

me <at> cata2:~ $ which touch
/bin/touch
me <at> cata2:~ $ touch .dvipsrc
me <at> cata2:~ $

any other way I can check this?

Please apply in your emacs under Cygwin:

M-: (call-process "touch" nil (current-buffer) nil "-t" "03010000" "/home/me/.dvipsrc")

I'ld like to see the output if any, and the return code, which should
be visible in the minibuffer.

Best regards, Michael.

Strange. Exactly as it should do.

Could you, please, apply the appended patch to tramp.el (recent CVS
version)? It adds some traces.

Then you should rerun your test copying the file with Tramp. When it
fails again, I'ld like to see the *Messages* buffer.

Best regards, Michael.

ok, here is the messages buffer.  I also did make distclean and then 
recompiled from scratch.  perhaps you can see some problem in the 
compilation record.  thanks!  I really hope all this is not due to me doing 
something silly...   Eli

That is still strange. The touch command looks fine, and it shouldn't
return with error code 2. And it doesn't say anything.

Anyway, I've changed that function that it raises a warning only in
case touch fails. I believe it isn't so important.

You can try latest Tramp from CVS.

Best regards, Michel.

Re: tramp (2.1.6-pre); ssh problems from cygwin to Linux

brilliant! this finally works, many thanks!  life is much easier again.

now tha twe solved the problem with teh ssh methohd, I will shortly report 
an scp problem from cygwin to linux which seems a bit more difficult 
perhaps.  Eli

tramp from cvs: scp problem from cygwin to linux

hello again,

so I use scp from cygwin to open my remote linux home directory, and then 
press "C" to copy a file.  this fails, and I am attaching the various debug 
buffers etc.  Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help with 
this.
