Emacs Tramp couldn't write region to file

Tags:

tramp

I edit files over ssh using tramp, and though I've had no problems in the past today I'm having some issues. When I attempt to save a file, I get the following (slightly redacted) error:

byte-code: Couldn't write region to `[filelocation]', 
decode using `(base64 -d -i | gzip -d >%s)' failed

I'm using emacs 24.3.1. base64 and gzip seem to work just fine on the server. Any ideas?

My problem was that I had exceeded my quota on the remote filesystem. The temporal coincidence between our problem therefore appears to be a coincidence. I suggest you check your quota and disk space on your server, and that you can actually write files there without using tramp.
