- In the following, file access via FTP will be discussed. In
- addition to that facility, it is also possible to access remote files
- through a shell connection. @xref{Top, The Tramp Manual,, tramp, The
- Tramp Manual}.

@cindex FTP
@cindex remote file access
! You can refer to files on other machines using a special file name syntax:
@example
@group
/@var{host}:@var{filename}
/@var{user}@@@var{host}:@var{filename}
/@var{user}@@@address@hidden:@var{filename}
@end group
@end example
@noindent
! When you do this, Emacs uses the FTP program to read and write files on
! the specified host. It logs in through FTP using your user name or the
! name @var{user}. It may ask you for a password from time to time; this
! is used for logging in on @var{host}. The form using @var{port} allows
! you to access servers running on a non-default TCP port.
!
! For using Tramp, the file name syntax looks like this:
!
! @example
! @group
! /address@hidden@var{filename}
! /address@hidden@@@address@hidden
! /address@hidden/@var{user}@@@address@hidden
! @end group
! @end example
@noindent
! Note that the square brackets are part of the file names.

@section Remote Files
@cindex Tramp
@cindex FTP
@cindex remote file access
! You can refer to files on other machines using a special file name
! syntax:
@example
@group
/@var{host}:@var{filename}
/@var{user}@@@var{host}:@var{filename}
/@var{user}@@@address@hidden:@var{filename}
+ /@var{method}:@var{user}@@@var{host}:@var{filename}
+ /@var{method}:@var{user}@@@address@hidden:@var{filename}
@end group
@end example
@noindent
! When you do this, Emacs may use the FTP program to access files on the
! remote host, or Emacs may use a remote-login program (such as
! @command{ssh}, @command{rlogin}, or @command{telnet}) to do this.
!
! You can always specify in the file name which method should be used to
! access the remote files, for example
! @file{/ftp:@var{user}@@@var{host}:@var{filename}} will use FTP, whereas
! @file{/sm:@var{user}@@@var{host}:@var{filename}} will use
! @command{ssh}. When no method is specified in the file name, Emacs
! determines a default method according to the following rules:
!
! @enumerate
! @item
! If the host name starts with @samp{ftp.} (with dot), then Emacs assumes
! the @command{ftp} method.
! @item
! If the user name is @samp{ftp} or @samp{anonymous}, then Emacs assumes
! the @command{ftp} method.
! @item
! Otherwise, Emacs assumes the @command{sm} method.
! @end enumerate
@noindent
! Remote file access through FTP is handled by the Ange-FTP package, which
! is documented in the following. Remote file access through the other
! methods is handled by the Tramp package, which has its own manual.
! @xref{Top, The Tramp Manual,, tramp, The Tramp Manual}.
!
! When the Ange-FTP package is used, Emacs logs in through FTP using your
! user name or the name @var{user}. It may ask you for a password from
! time to time; this is used for logging in on @var{host}. The form using
! @var{port} allows you to access servers running on a non-default TCP
! port.
