Gnu - Tramp

TRAMP stands for 'Transparent Remote (file) Access, Multiple Protocol'. This package provides remote file editing, similar to Ange-FTP. 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.
