There used to be a way to do this, in the old days this would have been: /multi:ssh:myuser@example.com:sudo::/ Alas, this doesn't work anymore. You could try an older version of tramp, but this doesn't seem like a good solution. Maybe you should ask the developers to put the explicit multi-hop functionality back in? I'm not aware of the reason why it was dropped, maybe the syntax was too confusing. There might also be a quick way to put this functionality back in as a patch, but I'm not familiar enough with tramp's internals to do this.
