I have a 1 byte file on a remote server. If I use 'scp' to copy the
file to my local machine, it copies correctly, but if I use:
$ emacs -Q
(copy-file "/ssh:address@hidden:~/file" "/tmp/file") C-j
to copy it, then the resulting local file is 2 bytes long.
I used hexl-mode to compare the two files:
1 byte correct version:
00000000: ce .
2 byte broken version:
00000000: 81ce ..
Could it be that Emacs is doing some kind of character-encoding
conversion? I don't want that to happen when all I'm doing is trying
to copy a binary file.
I originally noticed this problem when trying to copy a .jpg file from
the remote machine. It grew from 92,349 bytes on the remote machine
to 118,223 bytes locally, but given the recent issues with automatic
image detection, I though it best to find a smaller test case.
I tried the same thing copying the file from
/ssh:address@hidden:/tmp/file1 to /tmp/file2 but that didn't exhibit
the bug. Also, copying from the local machine to the remote machine
works OK.
