Tramp knows the following kinds of filenames (square brackets are
literal characters):
/[host]file
/address@hidden
/[method/address@hidden
/[multi/hop1:address@hidden/hop2:address@hidden
The last variant I call multi-hop method. It can contain an
arbitrary number of hops. A hop looks like "hop:address@hidden".
Ange-FTP directly supports the first two:
/host:file
/address@hidden:file
For the others, this syntax needs to be extended. Hm. Let's see.
The characters "@" and ":" should not be used to separate the
method. But maybe the method could be in square brackets. So the
third line becomes this:
/address@hidden:file
That seems to be simple and easy enough. Hm. And for the multi-hop
methods, the hops could be separated by comma and the "hop" part
could be separated by "#", so we arrive at this format:
/address@hidden,address@hidden:file
This appears to be a fairly natural filename format which people
might like.
Now comes the question: in which cases should Tramp invoke Ange-FTP?
My ideas are:
* We designate a special method "ftp" which, when specified, invokes
Ange-FTP.
* Tramp is augmented with an alist of user/host pairs and default
methods. This alist can be used to tell Tramp to use any method,
including "ftp", for a specific user/host combination.
* Specifying the method in the filename overrides this alist.
What do you think?
