Hi Ola,

I have a little function in my .emacs:

(defun cez ()
"Connexion ftp avec junon dans emacs"
(interactive)
(find-file "/sftp:[user]@[server]:~/")
)

Replace [user] with your login and [server] with your server name. ;-) 

so that hitting M-x cez in emacs opens a connexion and dired shows me the
files and I can edit them.

It is a good thing to set up ssh encryption so no password is asked. 

So you need dired mode in emacs and ssh setup.
