How do you copy files from a remote server to a local folder in emacs using dired/tramp?
Solution 1:
Here's one way. This works for me on emacs 23.
In dired mode, navigate to the file you'd like to copy.
- Press M to mark the file.
- Do an
M-x dired-do-copyand you'll be prompted for a location in the mini-buffer. - Edit the location to the local location you'd like to copy to and smack enter.
Done.
