5.1 TRAMP file name conventions
===============================
To log in to the remote host as a specific user, you use the
syntax ‘/user@host:path/to.file’. That means that connecting to
‘melancholia’ as ‘daniel’ and editing ‘.emacs’ in your home
directory you would specify ‘/daniel@melancholia:.emacs’.
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.

Why do you believe this? Usually, nobody owns a directory ".emacs/". But
it is common for a file ".emacs" to exist in a home directory.

Indeed. I've changed it.

I think "'.emacs/" is a typo for "'.emacs'" and Allan meant the doc
should read "... connecting to ‘melancholia’ as ‘daniel’ and editing
‘.emacs’ in Daniel's home directory ...".

I see, thanks. However, this seems to be corrected already in both Tramp
2.2.13 and 2.3.1. Allan seems to use an older Tramp version.
