Thanks folks,

Here are a couple of clarification points -

1. I am not using tramp
2. The usecase is as follows - I need to ssh into a server where I
manipulate a file and then I have to scp the file into a local machine that
requires me to enter password. I need to repeat this a number of times - but
each time, its the same file so, essentially I just have to re-execute the
same scp command - scp file localmachine:/path .... I'd like to record the
copying action into a keyboard macro that I can playback.
I'd like to be able to solve it with just emacs - I mean, this situation is
really common for me so it would be great if I could get a plain vanilla
emacs solution to this.

Regards,
Kashyap
