That sounds a little bit too expansive for my test environment. I've tried to reproduce the problem with setting the remote-temporary-file-directory to /home/admin/tmp w/o write permissions. Then I've started --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- emacs --eval '(add-to-list (quote tramp-connection-properties) (list nil "tmpdir" "/home/admin/tmp"))' /ssh:ubuntu-2204: --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Which tells Tramp to use "/home/admin/tmp" instead of "/tmp" on the remote side. Tramp did connect w/o problem, meaning that it didn't try to write to "/home/admin/tmp". When copying a local file to the remote host in Emacs, there is the error --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Copying /home/albinus/123 to /ssh:ubuntu-2204:/home/admin/123...failed File error: Directory /ssh:ubuntu-2204:/home/admin/tmp not accessible --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- This is expected, because Tramp needs to create a temporary file for this, which doesn't work. And the check inside Tramp works. That indicates, that the error in your case, writing to an improper /tmp directory, isn't caused by Tramp directly, but rather by an external program Tramp runs on the remote side behind the scenes. Could you please verify this? Remove write permissions from the remote /tmp directory, and start Emacs like this: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- # emacs -l tramp --eval '(setq tramp-verbose 10)' /ssh:some.host: --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The error should appear, and there should be a Tramp debug buffer. This might tell us more. If you fear to uncover sensible information with the debug buffer, send it directly to me. Best regards, Michael.
