On (info "(tramp) Quick Start Guide") 5.2 Using ‘ssh’ and ‘plink’ ===========================
If your local host runs an SSH client, and the remote host runs an SSH server, the most simple remote file name is ‘/ssh:user@host:/path/to/file’. The remote file name ‘/ssh::’ opens a remote connection to yourself on the local host, and is taken often for testing TRAMP. SAY INSTEAD: ========================== If your local host runs an SSH client, and the remote host runs an SSH server, the most simple remote file name is ‘/ssh:[email protected]:/path/to/file’. If you have the same username there as here, just use ‘/ssh:example.com:/path/to/file’. Now as we know, $ ssh example.com puts us in our home directory there. Likewise so does ‘/ssh:example.com:’ Whereas ‘/ssh:example.com:/’ is the root directory there. (Don't use "::", as the remote file name ‘/ssh::’ opens a remote connection to yourself on the local host (for testing TRAMP) so ‘/ssh::example.com:/path/to/file’won't reach example.com at all.) ========================== THANKS! P.S., this 'quick' guide needs a super quick cheatsheet up front. _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
