TRAMP version 2.2.11 User Manual
This file documents TRAMP version 2.2.11, a remote file editing package for Emacs.
TRAMP stands for ‘Transparent Remote (file) Access, Multiple Protocol’. This package provides remote file editing, similar to Ange-FTP.
The difference is that Ange-FTP uses FTP to transfer
files between the local and the remote host, whereas TRAMP uses a
combination of rsh and rcp or other work-alike
programs, such as ssh/scp.
