Severity: wishlist
How about rewriting the introductory paragraphs in `(tramp) Top' to not
describe TRAMP in contrast to Ange-FTP? The latter package seems to be
more and more obscure these days, especially since the FTP protocol is
used less and less. For example, this paragraph:
The difference is that Ange FTP uses FTP to transfer files between
the local and the remote host, whereas TRAMP uses a combination of ‘rsh’
and ‘rcp’ or other work-alike programs, such as ‘ssh’/‘scp’.
Could be turned into an FAQ.
Instead, we could use that limited space to briefly repeat parts of the
information in `(tramp) Overview'.
