The second and third commands reuse the existing ssh connection, there is no need to set it up and tear it down each time. Also % fcp somefile somehost: % fcp anotherfile somehost: reuses the connection in a similar way. I thought that the out-of-band scp and rcp methods would just run scp or rcp to transfer files back and forth, so it would be easy to adapt them to fsh. Does tramp also require an actual prompt on the remote machine, even when files are transferred with scp? -- Ed Avis [EMAIL PROTECTED]
