tramp says: “Cannot find local copy program: pscp” – but that does not mean there is something wrong with your emacs/tramp/PuTTY set-up
Every now and then I come across this error message: Cannot find local copy program: pscp This only occurs for “bigger” files (e.g. a 40k file), not for small files, because small files are being dealt with by plink. tramp-do-copy-or-rename-file-out-of-band (in lisp/net/tramp-sh.el) tries to find the copy-program on exec-path instead of PATH, so we have…

my 2017 Windows working environment
All these packages resp. utilities do not require Windows admin rights for getting them “installed” – actually they do not need “a Windows system installation”. Below C:\Users\jhayek I created a couple of subdirectories: opt: every package resp. utility has its own subdirectory below there bin: some .bat and .sh (BusyBox ash) scripts go there Packages resp. utilities:…

GNU Emacs: “find-tag” – from “use” to “definition”
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Find-Tag.html In case of Perl files you have to help “the mode” by creating a TAGS file beforehand through running “etags …”. In case of JavaScript files it works out of the box and w/o etags or anything like that. I have been using Emacs (and VI) for dozens of years now, but I did…

https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ToolBar That useless toolbar has been sitting there for many, many years, always stole visible space on my screens, I never ever used it, and I never ever got the idea it should get removed – until now. Actually yesterday I found out, how to remove KDE Konsole’s menu bar – I had tried to…

if saving a file through emacs’s “tramp” is not successful …
On Windows …: PLINK.EXE is part of the PuTTY family, and it’s the utility tramp is communicating through. (You do know that, as tramp does not set itself up to make use of PuTTY.) On all platforms: Burying the tramp buffer in question is actually my 1st approach on all platforms (Linux/Mac/Windows), whenever tramp communication seems…

Emacs and VC AKA Version Control and an excessive list of handled backends — the 2016-01 update
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Customizing-VC.html I am accessing files remotely from within Emacs through Tramp over mobile Internet. I just remembered, how many file checks Emacs’ VC library does, if you don’t cut down its list vc-handled-backends. For every single backend listed there “we” are doing a “repository check”. Maybe that’s fast in a LAN, it may even be rather fast…
