Could TRAMP include support for fsh <http://www.lysator.liu.se/fsh/>? This is an rsh-compatible command that reuses an ssh tunnel. In other words, once the ssh connection has been established, it is left open for subsequent commands rather than setting up a new connection each time. Also included is fcp, which is analogous to scp. Since fsh and fcp are drop-in replacements (once installed) for ssh and scp, all that's needed should be some new entries in tramp-methods. Please cc: any replies to me since I do not read this list. BTW: one more suggestion - could the default method be to have TRAMP try several different connection methods in turn until it finds one that works (and remember it for subsequent connections to the same host)? That would make it more usable 'out of the box'. I imagine the order of preference would be to try the more secure methods first, and among equally secure methods try the fastest first. -- Ed Avis [EMAIL PROTECTED]
