disable tramp

disable tramp

[Will Parsons]

I'm trying to use Emacs 22 on Windows, which apparently comes with tramp
enabled.  I've never been able to get tramp working, so how do I get
rid of the damn thing and just go back to using ange-ftp for editing remote
files?

It's not a matter of getting rid of it.  Just specify the protocol you
want.
Put ftp: before the username@sys-name portion.

\ftp:myid@172.24.11.1:\\drive\dir\filename.txt

I don't want to have to type ftp: every time I access a remote file.  So,
once more, how do I disable tramp?

If you want to disable Tramp you should set

  (setq tramp-default-method "ftp")

Removing Tramp, and re-enabling Ange-FTP, can be achieved by M-x
tramp-unload-tramp.

I guess I should have been a bit more conscientious in checking the Emacs
News - the way in clearly documented:

  (setq tramp-default-method "ftp")

My apologies for taking up bandwidth.
