@cindex default configuration
@value{tramp} is (normally) fully functional when it is initially installed.
It is initially configured to use the @command{ssh} program to connect
to the remote host and to use base64 or uu encoding to transfer the
files through that shell connection.  So in the easiest case, you just
type @kbd{C-x C-f} and then enter the filename
@file{@value{prefix}@var{user}@@@var{machine}@value{postfix}@var{/path/to.file}}.

On some hosts, there are problems with opening a connection.  These are
related to the behavior of the remote shell.  See @xref{Remote shell
setup}, for details on this.

you should set the variable @code{tramp-default-method} to reflect that
choice.  This variable controls which method will be used when a method
is not specified in the @value{tramp} file name.  For example:

@lisp
(setq tramp-default-method "scp")
@end lisp

@vindex tramp-default-method-alist
You can also specify different methods for certain user/host
combinations, via the variable @code{tramp-default-method-alist}.  For
