Directory tracking over remote connection #26

Closed Blade6570 closed 3 years ago

Blade6570 commented 3 years ago

If I am over ssh connection then :e <filename> is searching for the filename in the \tmp directory instead of the current directory. Is this a bug in my setup or is it desired?

I am on Emacs-27, Ubuntu 20.04. Installed the shx from Melpa and called it by M-x shx

Hi! Are you using :ssh (:help ssh) or ssh to connect to the host?

If you're using :ssh, shx should track your directory (and M-return should run shell-resync-dirs to resync you). (Unless they're a bug, and then we should dig deeper -- although I was just able to confirm this is working for me.)

If you're using ssh on its own, then shx won't be able to track the remote directory, and :e xyz won't work.

Okay, I see the problem now. It works if I do :ssh but not if I open shx from a remote file with M-x.

Thanks
