Support for remote logins using ssh. This program is layered on
top of shell.el; the code here only accounts for the variations
needed to handle a remote process, e.g. directory tracking and the
sending of some special characters.
M-x ssh RET hostname RET
Tab completion is never going to work as well as with local shells,
but it does work. Set ssh-directory-tracking-mode to ’ftp, and
set ssh-mode-hook to:
(lambda ()
(shell-dirtrack-mode t)
(setq shell-dirtrackp nil))Sometimes stuff will get out of sync anyways. Hit M-x dirs RET to
resync.
