what is the argument in favor of tramp? I used ange-ftp until my school turned off ftp. ftp behaved just like dired and was fast and efficient.
i got 21.3.50.1 in August in order to use tramp. It was unacceptably slow so I now use the independent SSH Communications Security window for file transfer. Then I got a new 21.3.50.1 in December, and ssh and tramp ceased to work at all. Is there any ssh-based file transfer mechanism that works with the same transparency as ange-ftp?
