I've been using TRAMP for a few days now. It works very well for the most part. I can load a remote shell using M-x shell, and ido-mode with find-file works very well remotely as well, which was surprising to me.

However, I'm having trouble with dired-do-shell-command. When I select a remote file using dired, then use ! to invoke dired-do-shell-command, it attempts to do this locally. Why does it do that if find-file and dired itself use TRAMP transparently?

I'm confused about how TRAMP really ties into the rest of Emacs.

  • I can't reproduce this behaviour on my system. Please try to do the same test with a standard Emacs configuration (`emacs -q`) and see if this problem still happens... – François Févotte May 24 '13 at 06:35
  • @Francesco unfortunately it still happens. When I attempt to invoke p4 (Perforce), it says "/bin/sh: p4: command not found" – Hut8 May 28 '13 at 13:32
  • try to invoke something like `hostname`, to really see where the command is being executed. There are so many ways perforce could fail (like environment problems), that you might be mistaken about the origin of the problem. – François Févotte May 28 '13 at 17:52
  • Also unable to reproduce. What Emacs version are you using? – Aaron Miller Aug 14 '13 at 18:46
