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.
