available.
tramp-1.00-pkg.tar.gz
---------------------
This is a new package. It's really worth a look, folks, I use it to
upload the packages to ftp.xemacs.org via ssh/scp.
From the README:
Tramp stands for `Transparent Remote (file) Access, Multiple
Protocol'. This package provides remote file editing, similar to
Ange-FTP and EFS.
The difference is that Ange-FTP uses FTP to transfer files between the
local and the remote host, whereas Tramp uses a combination of `rsh'
and `rcp' or other work-alike programs, such as `ssh'/`scp'.
Installing These:
================

--------
1) Download the packages that you want to install from:
/ftp.xemacs.org:/pub/xemacs/beta/experimental/packages/
2) Unpack them to: [1]

3) Re-start XEmacs.
