Tramp is a software project that offers the functionality of remote file editing.
The main difference between the Tramp software and Ange-FTP is the way they transfer files between local and remote hosts. While Ange-FTP uses FTP for file transfer, Tramp employs a unique combination of 'rsh' and 'rcp' or other similar work-alike programs like 'ssh'/'scp' for file transfer.
Using this version of Tramp on GNU Emacs offers a unified filename syntax for both Tramp and Ange-FTP. To better understand the functionality, we highly recommend reading the manual for more details.
Overall, this remote file editing software offers a range of features to enhance users' experiences. Those needing remote file access options that vary from Ange-FTP should highly consider switching to Tramp.
