ssh through emacs shell?

Question

I wonder if anyone out there uses ssh through the emacs shell. I am able to connect with the remote machine but I cannot open files to view/edit with emacs using \'emacs filenam

Answer 1

It may not be obvious on first sight, but eshell, the shell that is implemented in Emacs Lisp works fine with tramp:

Welcome to the Emacs shell

~ $ uname -a

~ $ cd /ssh:user@remote-machine:~
/ssh:user@remote-machine:/home/user $ uname -a
Linux remote-machine 2.6.18-6-686 #1 SMP Thu Aug 20 21:56:59 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
