I'd like to use ssh from Emacs directly. Anyone have any idea how? I've
tried setting tramp-default-method to "scp" and then using
/address@hidden:/

This just results in tramp waiting for the "remote prompt" for "60
seconds". And then it just hangs until I hit C-g. How do I tell Emacs
where to find ssh? Sorry, I've never used tramp before.

What I liked about the emacsclient approach is that I would be able to
launch the editor directly from within scratchbox, rather than having to
memorize the location of that directory in the host system and ssh to
it.
