Hi,
I would like to use the system 'cp' function in an xterm
to copy marked files in dired.
Right now, this small function works with the current
file:
(defun tacopybackground(var1)
"Copy"
(interactive)
(call-process-shell-command (concat "xterm -e 'cp -R
"(dired-get-filename)" " (dired-dwim-target-directory) " &'"))
)
but obviously it needs some kind of loop or different
approach for marked files!?:
(call-process-shell-command (concat "xterm -e 'cp -R
"(dired-get-marked-files)" " (dired-dwim-target-directory) " &'"))
Does anyone have an idea or any suggestion? At the end I
would actually use a similar command to transfer several
large (up to 2-3GB) files to an remote machine using
scp. Tramp is unfortunately to slow...
Greetings!
Fabian
