That means that conn= ecting to =E2=80=98melancholia=E2=80=99 as =E2=80=98daniel=E2=80=99 and editing = =E2=80=98.emacs=E2=80=99 in your home directory you would specify =E2=80=98/daniel@melancholia:.emacs=E2=80= =99. I believe the example given would edit '.emacs/ in DANIEL's home directory. I also think "path/to.file" is less commonly used in the docs than path/to/file. allan
