354 So, @value{tramp} basically issues @command{cd} and @command{ls} commands and |
45861 | 355 also sometimes @command{echo} with globbing. Another command that is |
356 often used is @command{test} to find out whether a file is writable or a | |
357 directory or the like. The output of each command is parsed for the | |
358 necessary operation. | |

361 Suppose you are finished with filename completion, have entered @kbd{C-x | |

782 @cindex out-of-band methods |
45861 | 783 |
784 The external transfer methods operate through multiple channels, using | |
785 the remote shell connection for many actions while delegating file | |
786 transfers to an external transfer utility. | |
787 | |
788 This saves the overhead of encoding and decoding that multiplexing the | |
789 transfer through the one connection has with the inline methods. | |
790 | |
81759 | 791 Since external transfer methods need their own overhead opening a new |
792 channel, all files which are smaller than @var{tramp-copy-size-limit} | |
793 are still transferred with the corresponding inline method. It should | |
794 provide a fair trade-off between both approaches. | |

818 Using @command{ssh} to connect to the remote host and @command{scp} to | |

1025 Depending on the Windows domain configuration, a Windows user might be | |
1026 considered as domain user per default. In order to connect as local | |
1027 user, the WINS name of that machine must be given as domain name. | |
1028 Usually, it is the machine name in capital letters. In the example | |
1029 above, the local user @code{daniel} would be specified as | |
1030 @file{@trampfn{smb, daniel%MELANCHOLIA, melancholia, /daniel$$/.emacs}}. | |

1052 @cindex gateway methods | |
1053 | |
1054 Gateway methods are not methods to access a remote host directly. | |
1055 These methods are intended to pass firewalls or proxy servers. | |
1056 Therefore, they can be used for proxy host declarations | |
1057 (@pxref{Multi-hops}) only. | |
1058 | |
1059 A gateway method must come always along with a method who supports | |
1060 port setting (referred to as @samp{-p} kludge). This is because | |
1061 @value{tramp} targets the accompanied method to | |
1062 @file{localhost#random_port}, from where the firewall or proxy server | |
1063 is accessed to. | |
1064 | |
1065 Gateway methods support user name and password declarations. These | |
1066 are used to authenticate towards the corresponding firewall or proxy | |
1067 server. They can be passed only if your friendly administrator has | |
1068 granted your access. | |

1071 @item @option{tunnel} | |
1072 @cindex method tunnel | |
1073 @cindex tunnel method | |
1074 | |
1075 This method implements an HTTP tunnel via the @command{CONNECT} | |
1076 command (see RFC 2616, 2817). Any HTTP 1.1 compliant (proxy) server | |
1077 shall support this command. | |
1078 | |
1079 As authentication method, only @option{Basic Authentication} (see RFC | |
1080 2617) is implemented so far. If no port number is given in the | |
1081 declaration, port @option{8080} is used for the proxy server. | |

1084 @item @option{socks} | |
1085 @cindex method socks | |

1089 RFC 1928). @option{Username/Password Authentication} according to RFC | |
1090 1929 is supported. | |
1091 | |
1092 The default port number of the socks server is @option{1080}, if not | |
1093 specified otherwise. | |

1196 @section Selecting a default user | |
1197 @cindex default user | |
1198 | |
1199 The user part of a @value{tramp} file name can be omitted. Usually, | |
1200 it is replaced by the user name you are logged in. Often, this is not | |
1201 what you want. A typical use of @value{tramp} might be to edit some | |
1202 files with root permissions on the local host. This case, you should | |
1203 set the variable @code{tramp-default-user} to reflect that choice. | |
1204 For example: | |
1205 | |
1206 @lisp | |
1207 (setq tramp-default-user "root") | |
1208 @end lisp | |
1209 | |
1210 @code{tramp-default-user} is regarded as obsolete, and will be removed | |
1211 soon. | |
1212 | |
1213 @vindex tramp-default-user-alist | |
1214 You can also specify different users for certain method/host | |
1215 combinations, via the variable @code{tramp-default-user-alist}. For | |
1216 example, if you always have to use the user @samp{john} in the domain | |
1217 @samp{somewhere.else}, you can specify the following: | |
1218 | |
1219 @lisp | |
1220 (add-to-list 'tramp-default-user-alist | |
1221 '("ssh" ".*\\.somewhere\\.else\\'" "john")) | |
1222 @end lisp | |
1223 | |
1224 @noindent | |
1225 See the documentation for the variable | |
1226 @code{tramp-default-user-alist} for more details. | |
1227 | |
1228 One trap to fall in must be known. If @value{tramp} finds a default | |
1229 user, this user will be passed always to the connection command as | |
1230 parameter (for example @samp{ssh here.somewhere.else -l john}. If you | |
1231 have specified another user for your command in its configuration | |
1232 files, @value{tramp} cannot know it, and the remote access will fail. | |
1233 If you have specified in the given example in @file{~/.ssh/config} the | |
1234 lines | |
1235 | |
1236 @example | |
1237 Host here.somewhere.else | |
1238 User lily | |
1239 @end example | |
1240 | |
1241 @noindent | |
1242 than you must discard selecting a default user by @value{tramp}. This | |
1243 will be done by setting it to @code{nil} (or @samp{lily}, likewise): | |
1244 | |
1245 @lisp | |
1246 (add-to-list 'tramp-default-user-alist | |
1247 '("ssh" "\\`here\\.somewhere\\.else\\'" nil)) | |
1248 @end lisp | |
1249 | |
1250 The last entry in @code{tramp-default-user-alist} could be your | |
1251 default user you'll apply predominantly. You shall @emph{append} it | |
1252 to that list at the end: | |
1253 | |
1254 @lisp | |
1255 (add-to-list 'tramp-default-user-alist '(nil nil "jonas") t) | |
1256 @end lisp | |
1257 | |
1258 | |
1259 @node Default Host | |
1260 @section Selecting a default host | |
1261 @cindex default host | |
1262 | |
1263 @vindex tramp-default-host | |
1264 Finally, it is even possible to omit the host name part of a | |
1265 @value{tramp} file name. This case, the value of the variable | |
1266 @code{tramp-default-host} is used. Per default, it is initialized | |
1267 with the host name your local @value{emacsname} is running. | |
1268 | |
1269 If you, for example, use @value{tramp} mainly to contact the host | |
1270 @samp{target} as user @samp{john}, you can specify: | |
1271 | |
1272 @lisp | |
1273 (setq tramp-default-user "john" | |
1274 tramp-default-host "target") | |
1275 @end lisp | |

1286 @section Connecting to a remote host using multiple hops | |
1287 @cindex multi-hop | |
1288 @cindex proxy hosts | |
1289 | |
1290 Sometimes, the methods described before are not sufficient. Sometimes, | |
1291 it is not possible to connect to a remote host using a simple command. | |
1292 For example, if you are in a secured network, you might have to log in | |
1293 to a `bastion host' first before you can connect to the outside world. | |
1294 Of course, the target host may also require a bastion host. | |
1295 | |
1296 @vindex tramp-default-proxies-alist | |
1297 In order to specify such multiple hops, it is possible to define a proxy | |
1298 host to pass through, via the variable | |
1299 @code{tramp-default-proxies-alist}. This variable keeps a list of | |
1300 triples (@var{host} @var{user} @var{proxy}). | |
1301 | |
1302 The first matching item specifies the proxy host to be passed for a | |
1303 file name located on a remote target matching @var{user}@@@var{host}. | |
1304 @var{host} and @var{user} are regular expressions or @code{nil}, which | |
1305 is interpreted as a regular expression which always matches. | |
1306 | |
1307 @var{proxy} must be a Tramp filename which localname part is ignored. | |
1308 Method and user name on @var{proxy} are optional, which is interpreted | |
1309 with the default values. | |
1310 @ifset emacsgw | |
1311 The method must be an inline or gateway method (@pxref{Inline | |
1312 methods}, @pxref{Gateway methods}). | |
1313 @end ifset | |
1314 @ifclear emacsgw | |
1315 The method must be an inline method (@pxref{Inline methods}). | |
1316 @end ifclear | |
1317 If @var{proxy} is @code{nil}, no additional hop is required reaching | |
1318 @var{user}@@@var{host}. | |
1319 | |
1320 If you, for example, must pass the host @samp{bastion.your.domain} as | |
1321 user @samp{bird} for any remote host which is not located in your local | |
1322 domain, you can set | |
1323 | |
1324 @lisp | |
1325 (add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist | |
1326 '("\\." nil "@trampfn{ssh, bird, bastion.your.domain,}")) | |
1327 (add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist | |
1328 '("\\.your\\.domain\\'" nil nil)) | |
1329 @end lisp | |
1330 | |
1331 Please note the order of the code. @code{add-to-list} adds elements at the | |
1332 beginning of a list. Therefore, most relevant rules must be added last. | |
1333 | |
1334 Proxy hosts can be cascaded. If there is another host called | |
1335 @samp{jump.your.domain}, which is the only one in your local domain who | |
1336 is allowed connecting @samp{bastion.your.domain}, you can add another | |
1337 rule: | |
1338 | |
1339 @lisp | |
1340 (add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist | |
1341 '("\\`bastion\\.your\\.domain\\'" | |
1342 "\\`bird\\'" | |

1343 "@trampfn{ssh, , jump.your.domain,}")) |
81759 | 1344 @end lisp |
1345 | |
1346 @var{proxy} can contain the patterns @code{%h} or @code{%u}. These | |
1347 patterns are replaced by the strings matching @var{host} or | |
1348 @var{user}, respectively. | |
1349 | |
1350 If you, for example, wants to work as @samp{root} on hosts in the | |
1351 domain @samp{your.domain}, but login as @samp{root} is disabled for | |
1352 non-local access, you might add the following rule: | |

1370 Finally, @code{tramp-default-proxies-alist} can be used to pass | |

1372 @samp{proxy.your.domain} which is used on port 3128 as HTTP proxy to | |
1373 the outer world. Your friendly administrator has granted you access | |
1374 under your user name to @samp{host.other.domain} on that proxy | |
1375 server.@footnote{HTTP tunnels are intended for secure SSL/TLS | |
1376 communication. Therefore, many proxy server restrict the tunnels to | |
1377 related target ports. You might need to run your ssh server on your | |
1378 target host @samp{host.other.domain} on such a port, like 443 (https). | |

1601 @value{tramp} depends on a number of programs on the remote host in order to |
45861 | 1602 function, including @command{ls}, @command{test}, @command{find} and |
1603 @command{cat}. | |
1604 | |
1605 In addition to these required tools, there are various tools that may be | |
81759 | 1606 required based on the connection method. See @ref{Inline methods} and |
45861 | 1607 @ref{External transfer methods} for details on these. |
1608 | |
1609 Certain other tools, such as @command{perl} (or @command{perl5}) and | |
81759 | 1610 @command{grep} will be used if they can be found. When they are |
45861 | 1611 available, they are used to improve the performance and accuracy of |

1615 When @value{tramp} connects to the remote machine, it searches for the |
81759 | 1616 programs that it can use. The variable @code{tramp-remote-path} |
1617 controls the directories searched on the remote machine. | |
45861 | 1618 |
1619 By default, this is set to a reasonable set of defaults for most | |
81759 | 1620 machines. The symbol @code{tramp-default-remote-path} is a place |
1621 holder, it is replaced by the list of directories received via the | |
1622 command @command{getconf PATH} on your remote machine. For example, | |
1623 on GNU Debian this is @file{/bin:/usr/bin}, whereas on Solaris this is | |
1624 @file{/usr/xpg4/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin}. It is | |
1625 recommended to apply this symbol on top of @code{tramp-remote-path}. | |
1626 | |
1627 It is possible, however, that your local (or remote ;) system | |
45861 | 1628 administrator has put the tools you want in some obscure local |
1629 directory. | |
1630 | |
81759 | 1631 In this case, you can still use them with @value{tramp}. You simply need to |
45861 | 1632 add code to your @file{.emacs} to add the directory to the remote path. |

1832 effects. Suppose that you specify that all backups should go to the | |
1833 directory @file{~/.emacs.d/backups/}, and then you edit the file | |
1834 @file{@trampfn{su, root, localhost, /etc/secretfile}}. The effect is | |
1835 that the backup file will be owned by you and not by root, thus | |
1836 possibly enabling others to see it even if they were not intended to | |
1837 see it. | |

2087 The user, machine and file specification remain the same. |
45861 | 2088 |
46348 | 2089 So, to connect to the machine @code{melancholia} as @code{daniel}, |
81759 | 2090 using the @option{ssh} method to transfer files, and edit |
2091 @file{.emacs} in my home directory I would specify the filename | |
2092 @file{@trampfn{ssh, daniel, melancholia, .emacs}}. | |

2096 @section URL-like filename syntax | |
2097 @cindex filename syntax | |
2098 @cindex filename examples | |
2099 | |
2100 Additionally to the syntax described in the previous chapter, it is | |
2101 possible to use a URL-like syntax for @value{tramp}. This can be | |
2102 switched on by customizing the variable @code{tramp-syntax}. Please | |
2103 note that this feature is experimental for the time being. | |
2104 | |
2105 The variable @code{tramp-syntax} must be set before requiring @value{tramp}: | |
2106 | |
2107 @lisp | |
2108 (setq tramp-syntax 'url) | |
2109 (require 'tramp) | |
2110 @end lisp | |
2111 | |
2112 Then, a @value{tramp} filename would look like this: | |
2113 @file{/@var{method}://@var{user}@@@var{machine}:@var{port}/@var{path/to.file}}. | |
2114 @file{/@var{method}://} is mandatory, all other parts are optional. | |
2115 @file{:@var{port}} is useful for methods only who support this. | |
2116 | |
2117 The last example from the previous section would look like this: | |
2118 @file{/ssh://daniel@@melancholia/.emacs}. | |
2119 | |
2120 For the time being, @code{tramp-syntax} can have the following values: | |

81759 | 2240 |
2241 Remote processes are started when a corresponding command is executed | |
2242 from a buffer belonging to a remote file or directory. Up to now, the | |
2243 packages @file{compile.el} (commands like @code{compile} and | |
2244 @code{grep}) and @file{gud.el} (@code{gdb} or @code{perldb}) have been | |
2245 integrated. Integration of further packages is planned, any help for | |
2246 this is welcome! | |
2247 | |
2248 When your program is not found in the default search path | |
2249 @value{tramp} sets on the remote machine, you should either use an | |
2250 absolute path, or extend @code{tramp-remote-path} (see @ref{Remote | |
2251 Programs}): | |
2252 | |
2253 @lisp | |
2254 (add-to-list 'tramp-remote-path "~/bin") | |
2255 (add-to-list 'tramp-remote-path "/appli/pub/bin") | |
2256 @end lisp | |
2257 | |
2258 The environment for your program can be adapted by customizing | |
2259 @code{tramp-remote-process-environment}. This variable is a list of | |
2260 strings. It is structured like @code{process-environment}. Each | |
2261 element is a string of the form ENVVARNAME=VALUE. An entry | |
2262 ENVVARNAME= disables the corresponding environment variable, which | |
2263 might have been set in your init file like @file{~/.profile}. | |
2264 | |
2265 @noindent | |
2266 Adding an entry can be performed via @code{add-to-list}: | |

2272 Changing or removing an existing entry is not encouraged. The default | |
2273 values are chosen for proper @value{tramp} work. Nevertheless, if for | |
2274 example a paranoid system administrator disallows changing the | |
2275 @var{$HISTORY} environment variable, you can customize | |
2276 @code{tramp-remote-process-environment}, or you can apply the | |
2277 following code in your @file{.emacs}: | |

2382 If you can identify a minimal test case that reproduces the problem, | |
81759 | 2383 include that with your bug report. This will make it much easier for |
2384 the development team to analyze and correct the problem. | |
2385 | |
2386 Before reporting the bug, you should set the verbosity level to 6 | |
2387 (@pxref{Traces and Profiles, Traces}) in the @file{~/.emacs} file and | |
2388 repeat the bug. Then, include the contents of the @file{*tramp/foo*} | |
2389 and @file{*debug tramp/foo*} buffers in your bug report. A verbosity | |
2390 level greater than 6 will produce a very huge debug buffer, which is | |
2391 mostly not necessary for the analysis. | |
2392 | |
2393 Please be aware that, with a verbosity level of 6 or greater, the | |
2394 contents of files and directories will be included in the debug | |
2395 buffer. Passwords you've typed will never be included there. | |

2443 How could I speed up @value{tramp}? | |
2444 | |
2445 In the backstage, @value{tramp} needs a lot of operations on the | |
2446 remote host. The time for transferring data from and to the remote | |
2447 host as well as the time needed to perform the operations there count. | |
2448 In order to speed up @value{tramp}, one could either try to avoid some | |
2449 of the operations, or one could try to improve their performance. | |
2450 | |
2451 Use an external transfer method, like @option{scpc}. | |
2452 | |
2453 Use caching. This is already enabled by default. Information about | |
2454 the remote host as well as the remote files are cached for reuse. Th | |
2455 information about remote hosts is kept in the file specified in | |
2456 @code{tramp-persistency-file-name}. Keep this file. | |
2457 | |
2458 Disable version control. If you access remote files which are not | |
2459 under version control, a lot of check operations can be avoided by | |
2460 disabling VC. This can be achieved by | |
2461 | |
2462 @lisp | |
2463 (setq vc-handled-backends nil) | |
2464 @end lisp | |
2465 | |
2466 Disable excessive traces. The default trace level of @value{tramp}, | |
2467 defined in the variable @code{tramp-verbose}, is 3. You should | |
2468 increase this level only temporarily, hunting bugs. | |

2513 On some few systems, the implementation of @code{process-send-string} |
81759 | 2514 seems to be broken for longer strings. It is reported for HP-UX, |
2515 FreeBSD and Tru64 Unix, for example. This case, you should customize | |
2516 the variable @code{tramp-chunksize} to 500. For a description how to | |
2517 determine whether this is necessary see the documentation of | |
2518 @code{tramp-chunksize}. | |
2519 | |
2520 Additionally, it will be useful to set @code{file-precious-flag} to | |
2521 @code{t} for @value{tramp} files. Then the file contents will be | |
2522 written into a temporary file first, which is checked for correct | |

81759 | 2690 @item There are longish file names to type. How to shorten this? |
2691 | |
2692 Let's say you need regularly access to @file{@trampfn{ssh, news, | |
2693 news.my.domain, /opt/news/etc}}, which is boring to type again and | |
2694 again. The following approaches can be mixed: | |
2695 | |
2696 @enumerate | |
2697 | |
2698 @item Use default values for method and user name: | |
2699 | |
2700 You can define default methods and user names for hosts, | |
2701 (@pxref{Default Method}, @pxref{Default User}): | |
2702 | |
2703 @lisp | |
2704 (setq tramp-default-method "ssh" | |
2705 tramp-default-user "news") | |
2706 @end lisp | |
2707 | |
2708 The file name left to type would be | |

81759 | 2710 |
2711 Note, that there are some useful settings already. Accessing your | |
2712 local host as @samp{root} user, is possible just by @kbd{C-x C-f | |

2715 @item Use configuration possibilities of your method: | |
2716 | |
2717 Several connection methods (i.e. the programs used) offer powerful | |
2718 configuration possibilities (@pxref{Customizing Completion}). In the | |
2719 given case, this could be @file{~/.ssh/config}: | |
2720 | |
2721 @example | |
2722 Host xy | |
2723 HostName news.my.domain | |
2724 User news | |
2725 @end example | |

2727 The file name left to type would be @kbd{C-x C-f @trampfn{ssh, , xy, |
81759 | 2728 /opt/news/etc}}. Depending on files in your directories, it is even |
2729 possible to complete the hostname with @kbd{C-x C-f | |
2730 @value{prefix}ssh@value{postfixhop}x @key{TAB}}. | |
2731 | |
2732 @item Use environment variables: | |
2733 | |
2734 File names typed in the minibuffer can be expanded by environment | |
2735 variables. You can set them outside @value{emacsname}, or even with | |
2736 Lisp: | |
2737 | |
2738 @lisp | |
2739 (setenv "xy" "@trampfn{ssh, news, news.my.domain, /opt/news/etc/}") | |
2740 @end lisp | |
2741 | |
2742 Then you need simply to type @kbd{C-x C-f $xy @key{RET}}, and here you | |
2743 are. The disadvantage is, that you cannot edit the file name, because | |
2744 environment variables are not expanded during editing in the | |
2745 minibuffer. | |
2746 | |
2747 @item Define own keys: | |
2748 | |
2749 You can define your own key sequences in @value{emacsname}, which can | |
2750 be used instead of @kbd{C-x C-f}: | |
2751 | |
2752 @lisp | |
2753 (global-set-key | |
2754 [(control x) (control y)] | |
2755 (lambda () | |
2756 (interactive) | |
2757 (find-file | |
2758 (read-file-name | |
2759 "Find Tramp file: " | |
2760 "@trampfn{ssh, news, news.my.domain, /opt/news/etc/}")))) | |
2761 @end lisp | |
2762 | |
2763 Simply typing @kbd{C-x C-y} would initialize the minibuffer for | |
2764 editing with your beloved file name. | |
2765 | |
2766 See also @uref{http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/TrampMode, the | |
2767 Emacs Wiki} for a more comprehensive example. | |
2768 | |
2769 @item Define own abbreviation (1): | |
2770 | |
2771 It is possible to define an own abbreviation list for expanding file | |
2772 names: | |
2773 | |
2774 @lisp | |
2775 (add-to-list | |
2776 'directory-abbrev-alist | |
2777 '("^/xy" . "@trampfn{ssh, news, news.my.domain, /opt/news/etc/}")) | |
2778 @end lisp | |
2779 | |
2780 This shortens the file openening command to @kbd{C-x C-f /xy | |
2781 @key{RET}}. The disadvantage is, again, that you cannot edit the file | |
2782 name, because the expansion happens after entering the file name only. | |
2783 | |
2784 @item Define own abbreviation (2): | |
2785 | |
2786 The @code{abbrev-mode} gives more flexibility for editing the | |
2787 minibuffer: | |
2788 | |
2789 @lisp | |
2790 (define-abbrev-table 'my-tramp-abbrev-table | |
2791 '(("xy" "@trampfn{ssh, news, news.my.domain, /opt/news/etc/}"))) | |
2792 | |
2793 (add-hook | |
2794 'minibuffer-setup-hook | |
2795 '(lambda () | |
2796 (abbrev-mode 1) | |
2797 (setq local-abbrev-table my-tramp-abbrev-table))) | |
2798 | |
2799 (defadvice minibuffer-complete | |
2800 (before my-minibuffer-complete activate) | |
2801 (expand-abbrev)) | |
2802 | |
2803 ;; If you use partial-completion-mode | |
2804 (defadvice PC-do-completion | |
2805 (before my-PC-do-completion activate) | |
2806 (expand-abbrev)) | |
2807 @end lisp | |
2808 | |
2809 After entering @kbd{C-x C-f xy @key{TAB}}, the minibuffer is | |
2810 expanded, and you can continue editing. | |
2811 | |
2812 @item Use bookmarks: | |
2813 | |
2814 Bookmarks can be used to visit Tramp files or directories. | |
2815 @ifinfo | |
2816 @pxref{Bookmarks, , , @value{emacsdir}} | |
2817 @end ifinfo | |
2818 | |
2819 When you have opened @file{@trampfn{ssh, news, news.my.domain, | |
2820 /opt/news/etc/}}, you should save the bookmark via | |
2821 @ifset emacs | |
2822 @kbd{@key{menu-bar} @key{edit} @key{bookmarks} @key{set}}. | |
2823 @end ifset | |
2824 @ifset xemacs | |
2825 @kbd{@key{menu-bar} @key{view} @key{bookmarks} @key{set}}. | |
2826 @end ifset | |
2827 | |
2828 Later on, you can always navigate to that bookmark via | |
2829 @ifset emacs | |
2830 @kbd{@key{menu-bar} @key{edit} @key{bookmarks} @key{jump}}. | |
2831 @end ifset | |

2841 @ifset xemacs | |

2850 @pxref{recent-files, , , edit-utils} | |
2851 @end ifset | |
2852 @end ifinfo | |
2853 | |
2854 You could keep remote file names in the recent list without checking | |
2855 their readability through a remote access: | |
2856 | |
2857 @lisp | |
2858 @ifset emacs | |
2859 (recentf-mode 1) | |
2860 @end ifset | |
2861 @ifset xemacs | |
2862 (recent-files-initialize) | |
2863 (add-hook | |
2864 'find-file-hooks | |
2865 (lambda () | |
2866 (when (file-remote-p (buffer-file-name)) | |
2867 (recent-files-make-permanent))) | |
2868 'append) | |
2869 @end ifset | |
2870 @end lisp | |
2871 | |
2872 The list of files opened recently is reachable via | |
2873 @ifset emacs | |
2874 @kbd{@key{menu-bar} @key{file} @key{Open Recent}}. | |
2875 @end ifset | |
2876 @ifset xemacs | |
2877 @kbd{@key{menu-bar} @key{Recent Files}}. | |
2878 @end ifset | |
2879 | |
2880 @ifset emacs | |
2881 @item Use filecache: | |
2882 | |
2883 @file{filecache} remembers visited places. Add the directory into | |
2884 the cache: | |
2885 | |
2886 @lisp | |
2887 (eval-after-load "filecache" | |
2888 '(file-cache-add-directory | |
2889 "@trampfn{ssh, news, news.my.domain, /opt/news/etc/}")) | |
2890 @end lisp | |
2891 | |
2892 Whenever you want to load a file, you can enter @kbd{C-x C-f | |
2893 C-@key{TAB}} in the minibuffer. The completion is done for the given | |
2894 directory. | |
2895 @end ifset | |

3015 function is advised to call an @value{tramp} specific function for remote files. |
45861 | 3016 |
3017 The @code{tramp-vc-workfile-unchanged-p} function uses the functioning VC | |
3018 diff functionality to determine if any changes have occurred between the | |
3019 workfile and the version control master. | |
3020 | |
3021 This requires that a shell command be executed remotely, a process that | |
3022 is notably heavier-weight than the mtime comparison used for local | |
81759 | 3023 files. Unfortunately, unless a portable solution to the issue is found, |

3054 login name in some circumstances. |
45861 | 3055 |
3056 This will not, for obvious reasons, work if the remote system has a | |
81759 | 3057 different set of logins. As such, it is necessary to delegate to the |
45861 | 3058 remote machine the job of determining the login name associated with a |
3059 uid. | |
3060 | |
3061 Unfortunately, with the profusion of distributed management systems such | |
3062 as @code{NIS}, @code{NIS+} and @code{NetInfo}, there is no simple, | |
3063 reliable and portable method for performing this mapping. | |
3064 | |
3065 Thankfully, the only place in the VC code that depends on the mapping of | |
81759 | 3066 a uid to a login name is the @code{vc-file-owner} function. This returns |
45861 | 3067 the login of the owner of the file as a string. |
3068 | |
3069 This function has been advised to use the output of @command{ls} on the | |
3070 remote machine to determine the login name, delegating the problem of | |
3071 mapping the uid to the login to the remote system which should know more | |
3072 about it than I do. | |
3073 | |
3074 | |
3075 @node Back-end Versions | |
3076 @subsection How VC determines what release your RCS is | |
3077 | |
3078 VC needs to know what release your revision control binaries you are | |
3079 running as not all features VC supports are available with older | |
3080 versions of @command{rcs(1)}, @command{cvs(1)} or @command{sccs(1)}. | |
3081 | |
3082 The default implementation of VC determines this value the first time it | |
3083 is needed and then stores the value globally to avoid the overhead of | |
3084 executing a process and parsing its output each time the information is | |
3085 needed. | |
3086 | |
3087 Unfortunately, life is not quite so easy when remote version control | |
81759 | 3088 comes into the picture. Each remote machine may have a different version |
45861 | 3089 of the version control tools and, while this is painful, we need to |
3090 ensure that unavailable features are not used remotely. | |

3094 local to each @value{tramp} buffer, forcing VC to determine these values |
45861 | 3095 again each time a new file is visited. |
3096 | |
81759 | 3097 This has, quite obviously, some performance implications. Thankfully, |
45861 | 3098 most of the common operations performed by VC do not actually require |
81759 | 3099 that the remote version be known. This makes the problem far less |
45861 | 3100 apparent. |

3131 @chapter How to Customize Traces | |
3132 | |
3133 All @value{tramp} messages are raised with a verbosity level. The | |
3134 verbosity level can be any number between 0 and 10. Only messages with | |
3135 a verbosity level less than or equal to @code{tramp-verbose} are | |
3136 displayed. | |
3137 | |
3138 The verbosity levels are | |
3139 | |
3140 @w{ 0} silent (no @value{tramp} messages at all) | |
3141 @*@indent @w{ 1} errors | |
3142 @*@indent @w{ 2} warnings | |
3143 @*@indent @w{ 3} connection to remote hosts (default verbosity) | |
3144 @*@indent @w{ 4} activities | |
3145 @*@indent @w{ 5} internal | |
3146 @*@indent @w{ 6} sent and received strings | |
3147 @*@indent @w{ 7} file caching | |
3148 @*@indent @w{ 8} connection properties | |
3149 @*@indent @w{10} traces (huge) | |
3150 | |
3151 When @code{tramp-verbose} is greater than or equal to 4, the messages | |
3152 are also written into a @value{tramp} debug buffer. This debug buffer | |
3153 is useful for analysing problems; sending a @value{tramp} bug report | |
3154 should be done with @code{tramp-verbose} set to a verbosity level of at | |
3155 least 6 (@pxref{Bug Reports}). | |
3156 | |
3157 The debug buffer is in | |
3158 @ifinfo | |
3159 @ref{Outline Mode, , , @value{emacsdir}}. | |
3160 @end ifinfo | |
3161 @ifnotinfo | |
3162 Outline Mode. | |
3163 @end ifnotinfo | |
3164 That means, you can change the level of messages to be viewed. If you | |
3165 want, for example, see only messages up to verbosity level 5, you must | |
3166 enter @kbd{C-u 6 C-c C-q}. | |
3167 @ifinfo | |
3168 Other keys for navigating are described in | |
3169 @ref{Outline Visibility, , , @value{emacsdir}}. | |
3170 @end ifinfo | |
3171 | |
3172 @value{tramp} errors are handled internally in order to raise the | |
3173 verbosity level 1 messages. When you want to get a Lisp backtrace in | |
3174 case of an error, you need to set both | |
3175 | |
3176 @lisp | |
3177 (setq debug-on-error t | |
3178 debug-on-signal t) | |
3179 @end lisp | |
3180 | |
3181 Sometimes, it might be even necessary to step through @value{tramp} | |
3182 function call traces. Such traces are enabled by the following code: | |
3183 | |
3184 @lisp | |
3185 (require 'tramp) | |
3186 (require 'trace) | |
3187 (mapcar 'trace-function-background | |
3188 (mapcar 'intern | |
3189 (all-completions "tramp-" obarray 'functionp))) | |
3190 (untrace-function 'tramp-read-passwd) | |
3191 (untrace-function 'tramp-gw-basic-authentication) | |
3192 @end lisp | |
3193 | |
3194 The function call traces are inserted in the buffer | |
3195 @file{*trace-output*}. @code{tramp-read-passwd} and | |
3196 @code{tramp-gw-basic-authentication} shall be disabled when the | |
3197 function call traces are added to @value{tramp}, because both | |
3198 functions return password strings, which should not be distributed. | |
