I am trying to copy files from one directory on a remote computer to another directory on the same remote computer.

Using Dired I can open up the two directories, mark the files I want to copy and press C. This works but is very slow and holds up the computer.

So I found https://truongtx.me/tmtxt-dired-async.html however this only seems to work for copying files on my local computer. If I try and mark and copy a file on a remote computer I get :

rsync change dir "/sourcepath/file1" failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync: change_dir#3 "/destpath/" failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync error: errors selecting input/output files, dirs (code 3) at main.c(695) [Receiver=3.1.2]

The window only displays for a few seconds before disappearing.

How can I fix this?

  • Contact the author of tmtxt-dired-async.el. Ask how to do it or whether it can be done.

  • Likely you can't with current Tramp. There exists a branch in Emacs' git repository to run Tramp asynchronously. This work is stalled due to problems with Emacs' implementation of concurrency.

I would consider looking at dired-rsync which is available from MELPA.
