816 This package is similar to Ange-FTP: it allows you to edit remote
817 files. But whereas Ange-FTP uses FTP to access the remote host,
818 Tramp uses a shell connection. The shell connection is always used
819 for filename completion and directory listings and suchlike, but for
820 the actual file transfer, you can choose between the so-called
821 `inline' methods (which transfer the files through the shell
822 connection using base64 or uu encoding) and the `out-of-band' methods
823 (which invoke an external copying program such as `rcp' or `scp' or
824 `rsync' to do the copying).
825
826 Shell connections can be acquired via `rsh', `ssh', `telnet' and also
827 `su' and `sudo'.
