Hi, I opened an org file using tramp on a remote server. It opened fine, and I had no trouble writing text and saving it. For fun I tried running a src block (a shell block that just returned the hostname), and got this error:
>%s'...failed tramp-file-name-handler: Couldn't write region to `/scp:jkitc...@gilgamesh.cheme.cmu.edu:/var/folders/5q/lllv2yf95hg_n6h6kjttbmdw0000gn/T/ob-input-30024dza', decode using `base64 -d -i >%s' failed Should this have worked? It looks like it tried to write a local path from my Mac to the server, and that path doesn't exist there. Some details (not sure they are relevant): I am running Emacs on a Mac, and opened a file on a remote Centos5 server.
