for you from scratch.  You must provide a skeleton dir file it
recognizes.  One can be found in a default install at
@file{/usr/info/dir}.  Copy the top of this file down to the first
occurrence of `* Menu' including that line plus one more blank line,
to your working directory @file{texi/dir}, or use the sample provided
in the @file{texi} directroy of this distribution.  See
@file{texi/dir_sample}

Once a @file{dir} file is in place, this command will make the entry.
     install-info --infodir=. tramp.info

Loading or saving a remote file requires that the content of the file
be transfered between the two machines. The content of the file can be
transfered over the same connection used to log in to the remote
machine or the file can be transfered through another connection using
a remote copy program such as @command{rcp}, @command{scp} or
@command{rsync}.  The former are called @dfn{inline methods}, the
latter are called @dfn{out-of-band methods} or @dfn{external transfer
methods} (@dfn{external methods} for short).

There are also two variants, @option{sm-ssh1} and @option{sm-ssh2}
that use the @command{ssh1} and @command{ssh2} commands explicitly. If
you don't know what these are, you do not need these options.

All the methods based on @command{ssh} have an additional kludgy
feature: you can specify a host name which looks like @file{host#42}
(the real host name, then a hash sign, then a port number).  This
means to connect to the given host but to also pass @code{-p 42} as
arguments to the @command{ssh} command.

the inline methods when you often open and close small files however.
The cost of the cryptographic handshake at the start of an @command{scp}
session can begin to absorb the advantage that the lack of encoding and
decoding presents.

All the @command{ssh} based methods support the kludgy @samp{-p}
feature where you can specify a port number to connect to in the host
name.  For example, the host name @file{host#42} tells Tramp to
specify @samp{-p 42} in the argument list for @command{ssh}.
