remote file access in Emacs

TRAMP stands for `Transparent Remote (file) Access, Multiple Protocol'. It provides remote file editing in Emacs, similar to ange-ftp and EFS.

Unlike ange-ftp, Tramp is not restricted to FTP to transfer files between the local and the remote host: it supports ssh, scp, rsh, telnet, rsync, and smb methods. It also supports other connection methods such as su and sudo, and combinations of multiple methods. Most file operations in Emacs (such as Dired, VC, etc) also work over Tramp.
