Hi.
I'm running GNU Emacs 22.0.50.2 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) under Windows
XP. I need to transfer files back and forth with a Linux machine at
work that does not allow ftp access. The pre-installed tramp package
seems to work just fine except when I try to copy a file from the
Linux machine back to my local XP machine. The file is copied, but I
get an error message saying "tramp-touch: touch failed". I am using
the default method (plink?); there is nothing in my .emacs file to
modify this. When I first experimented with tramp, it complained that
there wasn't a touch program, so I tried several versions that I
downloaded from the web, finally settling on the one from the UnxUtils
package available on Sourceforge.net. It seems to have the same
command-line options as the Unix versions, including -t.
I've looked at the tramp.el file for this error message. It is
embedded in some code that looks like the following excerpt:
(defun tramp-touch (file time)
"Set the last-modified timestamp of the given file.
TIME is an Emacs internal time value as returned by `current-time'."
(let ((touch-time (format-time-string "%Y%m%d%H%M.%S" time)))
(if (tramp-tramp-file-p file)
(with-parsed-tramp-file-name file nil
(let ((buf (tramp-get-buffer multi-method method user host)))
(unless (zerop (tramp-send-command-and-check
multi-method method user host
(format "touch -t %s %s"
touch-time
localname)))
(pop-to-buffer buf)
(error "tramp-touch: touch failed, see buffer `%s' for details"
buf))))
;; It's a local file
(with-temp-buffer
(unless (zerop (call-process
"touch" nil (current-buffer) nil "-t" touch-time file))
(pop-to-buffer (current-buffer))
(error "tramp-touch: touch failed"))))))
I'm assuming that the error message is generated by the final line of
code above. However, I don't know any List and don't know how to
debug this further. I can, however, follow directions and would
appreciate suggestions on how to proceed. This error occurs with
whatever version of touch.exe I install on my system.
Thanks,
Peter
