the TRAMP Info node suggests,
«you should set the variable TRAMP-DEFAULT-METHOD to reflect
[the appropriate transfer method].»
I think that an example would have been beneficial here... my
first thought was to
(setq tramp-default-method 'scp)
to instruct TRAMP to use ssh/scp. this didn't work, because
tramp-default method apparently is supposed to be set to a
string... I figured out that
(setq tramp-default-method "scp")
was the proper way of doing it, but it would have been easier if
this (or something similar) was stated as an example.
