This with `(auto-compression-mode)' in my .emacs file.
When copying a file via tramp, tramp will attempt to compress the
file again if it ends with a suffix that it recognizes as a
compressed file. For example:
$ echo tmp > test
$ gzip test
$ ls -l test.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 mah mah 29 May 4 10:30 test.gz
Now use `C' in dired to copy to a remote host using a tramp
path. On the remote host:
$ ls -l test.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 mah other 49 May 4 10:31 test.gz
$ gunzip test.gz
$ file test
test: gzip compressed data - deflate method , original file name
I'm not sure if this is a tramp problem or jka-compr, but here is
a bug report anyway ;->.
