/host:localfilename opens file localfilename on the remote host host, using the default method. See Default Method.
For the file .emacs located in the home directory, on the host
melancholia.
For the file .emacs specified using the fully qualified domain name of the host.
For the file .emacs specified using the ~, which is expanded.
For the file .emacs located in daniel’s home directory
on the host, melancholia. The ~<user> construct is
expanded to the home directory of that user on the remote host.
For the file /etc/squid.conf on the host melancholia.
host can take IPv4 or IPv6 address, as in /127.0.0.1:.emacs or /[::1]:.emacs. For syntactical reasons, IPv6 addresses must be embedded in square brackets [ and ].
By default, TRAMP will use the current local user name as the remote user name for log in to the remote host. Specifying a different name using the proper syntax will override this default behavior:
/user@host:path/to.file
/daniel@melancholia:.emacs is for file
.emacs in daniel’s home directory on the host,
melancholia.
Specify other file access methods (see Inline methods, see External methods) as part of the file name.
Method name comes before user name, as in /method: (Note the trailing colon). The syntax specifications for user, host, and file do not change.
To connect to the host melancholia as daniel, using
ssh method for .emacs in daniel’s home
directory, the full specification is:
/ssh:daniel@melancholia:.emacs.
A remote file name containing a host name, which is the same string as a method name, is not allowed.
For specifying port numbers, affix #<port> to the host name. For example: /ssh:daniel@melancholia#42:.emacs.
