I'd also like to make remote directory tracking easier to use with tramp (right now you can't set the transfer method for individual connections via user commands). Perhaps it would be better to do that first and then incorporate the new package, rather than adding another separate package. >Suggestion: > >Should Emacs include support for "M-x ssh", just as there is for "M-x >telnet", from telnet.el? If so, could "ssh.el" (GPL'ed) from Noah >Friedman be incorporated into Emacs? >ftp://ftp.splode.com/pub/users/friedman/emacs-lisp/ssh.el > >thanks, >Stephen
