Re: rssh.el interactions with ange-ftp/efs

Personally, I don't find that any better than ftp://user＠host/path/to/file It even has the exact same number of characters! But most importantly, URL syntax is *standard*. Really, honestly, that does matter. The world has given us a standard way to name documents all over the Internet, with a variety of protocols. Every Web user understands it. Can't we please use it? Anyway, obviously full URLs are inconvenient. So again, I suggest a convenience syntax, the EFS syntax /user＠host:path/to/file which would use some user-settable protocol to resolve. That protocol should by default be FTP, and no one would even know that EFS changed. If you wanted to define yet another syntax in addition, it's no problem for me, but that seems like overkill. nelson(a)media.mit.edu . . . . . . . . http://www.media.mit.edu/~nelson/
