Hi, recursive copy or deletion of files can last a long time, because all operations are performed file by file. This could be much faster, if Tramp would be allowed to apply such operations in one step, for a whole directory. Think about "scp" or "rsync".
Therefore, I propose to add a file name handler to `dired-copy-file-recursive'. Recursive file deletion happens via `dired-delete-file'. Here I propose to add a new function `dired-delete-file-recursive', which takes over the recursive part of `dired-delete-file', and which calls also a file name handler when appropriate. I volunteer to implement such handlers in Tramp :-) What do people think? Best regards, Michael. _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
