On your remote host, there is no base64 or mimencode or uuencode or
whatever command to encode/decode the file. So we must try it with scp,
even for small pieces.

Please set tramp-copy-size-limit to -1, and try it, again. You should
flush your connections first by "M-x tramp-cleanup-all-connections".

Best regards, Michael.
