I have the following in my .emacs (and nothing else) (setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name "~/emacs/lisp/tramp/lisp") load-path)) (require 'tramp) (setq tramp-default-method "scp") and if I examine the variable tramp-default-method with describe-variable it is indeed "scp". If I open a file with C-x C-f /server:somefile I get prompted for a password (I have passwordless login enabled over ssh) and an get an ftp failure with the following message in the *ftp user@sever* buffer ftp> open server ftp: connect: Connection refused If I give the tramp method explicitly, with C-x C-f /[scp/server]somefile it works. Any ideas? I was under the impression that tramp would be invoked merely with the C-x C-f /server:file syntax JDH GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2002-04-29 on mother.paradise.lost $Id: tramp.el,v 2.95 2002/04/10 17:16:25 kaig Exp $
