I see, thanks

Oh, I thought the y-or-no-p is coming from Tramp itself.

I checked /scp on Linux but for the first start it it didn't give me the
accustomed dired "layout", it looked more like a directory listing with
C-x C-d!  (Maybe I even did C-x C-d.) Anyway when I tried it a second
time it looked like dired.

And /scp didn't query me, thank you. :-)

Could I run such a lengthy copying process asynchronously with:

     (add-to-list 'tramp-connection-properties
                  (list (regexp-quote "/scp:user@host:")
                        "direct-async-process" t))

?
