I have not used it but description sounds somewhat credible (other packages for Emacs worked when I used them): [ http://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/ ] An overview of TRAMP TRAMP is for transparently accessing remote files from within Emacs. TRAMP enables an easy, convenient, and consistent interface to remote files as if they are local files. TRAMP’s transparency extends to editing, version control, and dired. TRAMP can access remote hosts using any number of access methods, such as rsh, rlogin, telnet, and related programs. If these programs can successfully pass ASCII characters, TRAMP can use them. TRAMP does not require or mandate 8-bit clean connections. TRAMP’s most common access method is through ssh, a more secure alternative to ftp and other older access methods. TRAMP on MS Windows operating systems is integrated with the PuTTY package, and uses the plink program. etc. etc. HTH -- Regards, Tomasz Rola -- ** A C programmer asked whether computer had Buddha's nature. ** ** As the answer, master did "rm -rif" on the programmer's home ** ** directory.
