I guess the out-of-band method would require new actions for multi-hop. Just adding the method to the existing handler wouldn't be sufficient. `smb' stands for "Server Message Block", that's the protocol MS Windows (and Samba) offer. >> It's a nice idea to map /multi:ssh:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:ftp:[EMAIL >> PROTECTED]:/path/to.file >> on Ange-FTP gateways.

I hoped setting `ange-ftp-gateway-tmp-name-template' to a Tramp filename would work already. Doesn't seem so. Needs further investigation.
