??? How would Emacs manage to do that? Could you please describe how
can this work conceptually?
M-x shell simply runs a local shell as a subprocess, making its input
come from what you type in the buffer, and its output redirected to a
pipe that feeds the buffer. But the program which does the job when
you type "cd" is still the local shell, not Emacs. So it's the shell
that needs to support some kind of remote file syntax, or else Emacs
will have no way of communicating to the shell that it (the shell)
should work on remote files.
