TRAMP version 2.0.38 User Manual
********************************

This file documents TRAMP version 2.0.38, 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'.

   You can find the latest version of this document on the web at
`http://www.freesoftware.fsf.org/tramp/'.

   The manual has been generated for Emacs.  If you want to read the
info pages for XEmacs, you should read in Note: Installation how to
create them.

   There is a mailing list for TRAMP, available at
<tramp-devel@mail.freesoftware.fsf.org>, and archived at
`http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-rcp@ls6.cs.uni-dortmund.de/' as well
as the usual Savannah archives.
