Your second problem has been already solved in Tramp CVS, and this fix will appear latest with Tramp 2.1.11. Like with local files, editing a buffer related to a file which has been changed externally raises a warning. The first problem (directory content has been changed) is similar to the behaviour of ange-ftp. You could fix it with `revert-buffer'. It will always get the changed contents of a file or a directory. For a directory, you can call it in dired with "g". A repeated update of a file or a directory could be achieved via `auto-revert-mode'. I've never configured it for remote files, therefore I don't know the traps one could enter. At least you shall modify `auto-revert-interval', which is 5" by default. > Thanks for your help. > > Michael Best regards, Michael. _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
